Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Lions did exactly that with Logan Parr in pick 196.

The Noel value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 28th pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at pick No. 60 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jared Wilson in pick 102, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at No. 130 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Logan Parr
A real head-scratcher, Logan Parr in slot 196 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Steal is underselling it; Jonas Sanker at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
