Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Lions robbed the room for Abrams-Draine. Final grade: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Lions were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. On value alone, Abrams-Draine makes the weekend a net positive.

Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick No. 28 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton is a better player than the 73rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A tidy little value on Jalen McMillan in pick 91, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 139 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in Round 5, Pick 29 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 182 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jordan Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
