Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Starks should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malaki Starks, the No. 12 name on the board, stolen at the 62nd pick.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jack Sawyer and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 30 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at the 60th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 30 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to pick 63, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Value with a capital V on Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
