Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Green fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Taylen Green, the No. 182 name on the board, stolen at slot 223. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. If Campbell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Connor Lew at No. 54 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They let Deion Burks come to them and pounced at pick 120. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They went early on DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 19, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
They took Cam Calhoun at par in slot 202, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Nwokobia at the 214th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Taylen Green
You do not let a quarterback like Taylen Green reach the 223rd overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
