Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Lions spent real capital to be 48 picks early on Jordan Travis, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Stover falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

They will answer for taking interior defensive lineman early while cornerback, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They talked themselves into Ruke Orhorhoro at the 59th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A surprising call. With cornerback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on McKinnley Jackson, an interior defensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 91st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cade Stover
A tight end of that caliber at slot 164 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They liked Miles Frazier enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 205. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick 248 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
