Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureF
The Lions bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Lions started one anyway for Marcellas Dial, 43 picks ahead of schedule. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. The Verse steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 15th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 22 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A tidy little value on Tanor Bortolini in the 191st overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
They reached a country mile for Marcellas Dial at No. 201, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in pick No. 205 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Kalen DeLoach in the 249th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
