Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B.

Nobody else had Rara Thomas anywhere near the 255th overall pick. The Lions did, by 143 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

On value alone, Evans III makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Raylen Wilson
No edge and no loss on Raylen Wilson in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at slot 51 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Sam Leavitt
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Sam Leavitt in No. 59, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in the 71st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
They talked themselves into Earnest Greene III at the 74th pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at Round 3, Pick 19 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 93rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Riley Mahlman
They reached into another round for Riley Mahlman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kelby Collins
Kelby Collins in Round 4, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalen Thompson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Thompson this early at slot 129. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Micah Morris
Value said wait; Micah Morris in pick 149 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at No. 166 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
A quiet steal in the 173rd overall pick: Lawson Luckie for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Anthony Evans III
Anthony Evans III in pick No. 185 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson slid further than he should have, and slot 205 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Roderick Robinson II
Nice patience on Roderick Robinson II, who had no business lasting to the 232nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Colbie Young
They paid sticker price for Colbie Young in pick 240, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Branson Robinson
A conviction pick on Branson Robinson at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Rara Thomas
Rara Thomas in the 255th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
