Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Lions got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Somebody took the Lions to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Simpson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 15th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the 61st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in No. 73, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Josh Newton
The board had Josh Newton higher than the Round 3 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They read the board right and Jaylin Simpson was the payoff at slot 163. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
