Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Arnold: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Akili Arnold, the No. 223 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 244.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They paid sticker price for Landon Jackson in Round 2, Pick 7, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 102, where Sebastian Castro graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 130 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Nothing to complain about; Logan Brown went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They took KeAndre Lambert-Smith at par in pick 196, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No edge and no loss on Isaac TeSlaa in the 228th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold in No. 244 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
