Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent Round 6, Pick 2 on Logan Lee, a name most had 64 spots down the list. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

Hadden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, with Jared Verse leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 61 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the 73rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at the 95th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at No. 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
