Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 8 is 70 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Bullard in the 62nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A slide stopped in pick 66, with T.J. Tampa worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They jumped the gun on Bralen Trice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 95th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
A premium they did not need to pay, DeWayne Carter a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They paid a round early for Brenden Rice in pick No. 104, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Fair-plus on Gabriel Murphy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid up for Luke McCaffrey at pick 141 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the 164th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 8, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Blake Watson
They paid sticker price for Blake Watson in No. 201, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 205 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in slot 249 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
