Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Wesley Williams, 49 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Orange steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
No edge and no loss on Caleb Tiernan in No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
They barely believed it either: Domonique Orange still on the board at slot 118. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
They reached a country mile for Mikail Kamara at pick 128, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157 Rnd5 Wesley Williams
Wesley Williams at the 157th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd5 Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu in the 181st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin at pick 205 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They robbed the room for Jeff Caldwell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady at the 222nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
