Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Greenfield from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Garret Greenfield, the No. 216 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 249.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. If Abrams-Draine pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 29 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
You do not let a wide receiver like Adonai Mitchell reach slot 61 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They paid a round early for Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 73, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the 164th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
They let Johnny Dixon come to them and pounced at pick 201. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A slide stopped in the 205th overall pick, with Jase McClellan worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They barely believed it either: Garret Greenfield still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
