Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The war room fell hard for Eric O'Neill, and it showed at the Round 5 slot: 43 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Stockton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 17 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Goosby at the 49th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A clean, defensible pick in pick 117 with a little surplus value in D'Angelo Ponds. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They paid up for Logan Jones at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
A real head-scratcher, Eric O'Neill in the 156th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at No. 187 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Gunner Stockton
You do not let a quarterback like Gunner Stockton reach pick No. 209 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena in Round 7, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
