Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B+ to prove it.

The Lions did not so much draft Princewill Umanmielen as overpay for him, 65 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Neal pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 22 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Value with a capital V on A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Julian Neal
They robbed the room for Julian Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin in the 110th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A slide stopped in the 118th overall pick, with Jack Endries worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 155th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A straight-up fair deal on Aaron Graves at pick 180, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
No edge and no loss on Jaydn Ott in No. 188; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun slid further than he should have, and pick No. 189 is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Princewill Umanmielen this early at slot 209. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at Round 7, Pick 6 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
