Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Lions a B, Ransom and all.

When a board-topper like Lathan Ransom slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 28 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Donovan Jackson at slot 101 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 133rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Cobee Bryant at the 198th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at Round 7, Pick 9 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick No. 246 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
