Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Lions, and a C+ to match.

There is reaching, and then there is Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at No. 27. The Lions jumped the board by 56 and dared it to prove them wrong. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

That Rivers pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
In pick No. 27 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Daylen Everette
They paid sticker price for Daylen Everette in No. 59, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Aamil Wagner
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aamil Wagner in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at the 166th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Campbell this early at slot 188. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Daevin Hobbs. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick240 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
Good price on Elliot Washington II in Round 7, Pick 24, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
A tidy little value on J.C. Davis in the 255th pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
