Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC TradesC FutureB
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Lions: C+.

The Lions bet big and early on AJ Green, 65 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bolden. They will answer for taking safety early while wide receiver went begging. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 KJ Bolden
A surprising call. With wide receiver still to address, they spent the 38th pick on KJ Bolden, a safety they were not short of.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at the 41st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Quincy Rhodes Jr. in No. 82 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dom Nichols
Dom Nichols in slot 99 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaylen McClain
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 36. Wide receiver needed the pick; a safety in Jaylen McClain did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
No drama and no debate, Raylen Wilson went about where he belonged in slot 103. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dylan Raiola
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dylan Raiola. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kameryn Crawford
Kameryn Crawford at No. 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Marshall
Of all the spots to shop, they chose running back. Jordan Marshall in the 123rd pick leaves wide receiver for later.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ian Moore
A want over a need in the 129th overall pick: Ian Moore adds an offensive lineman while wide receiver keeps waiting.
Pick134 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver to take Earl Little Jr., a safety that was not the priority.
Pick143 Rnd5 AJ Green
A wild overpay on AJ Green in pick 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Horace Lockett
Horace Lockett at pick No. 173 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick188 Rnd6 Blake Frazier
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Blake Frazier in the Round 6 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick189 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
They reached into another round for Benjamin Brahmer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea in No. 200 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jake Guarnera
Jake Guarnera in the 216th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick239 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Stephiylan Green well ahead of where he belonged. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick254 Rnd7 D'Antre Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take D'Antre Robinson this early at pick 254. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
