Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 225 lands the Lions a B, Paul Jr. and all.

When a board-topper like Chris Paul Jr. slides to the 225th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cost of the Dellinger reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 28 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick 60, where Tyleik Williams graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in slot 131, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 194th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to pick No. 225, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
No edge and no loss on Quincy Riley in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the 244th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
