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

The war room fell hard for Akheem Mesidor, and it showed at slot 246: 142 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ransom. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They did well to land Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at No. 133 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 152 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in the 191st pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at the 198th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They paid sticker price for Brant Kuithe in slot 227, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A wild overpay on Tonka Hemingway in the 230th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick246 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in Round 7, Pick 28 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
