Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Lions left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Barrett reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Landing Verse that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick68 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at Round 3, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in pick 73, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Hall Jr. in the 93rd overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 103 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
The board had cheaper options than Michael Barrett at the 167th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley slid further than he should have, and pick No. 208 is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Nice patience on Ja'Had Carter, who had no business lasting to slot 251. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
