Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Grable: B.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tylan Grable, the No. 231 name on the board, in pick 249. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 29 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bralen Trice at the 73rd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A quiet steal in No. 164: Luke McCaffrey for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 201 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 205 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in the 249th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
