Draft Grade — Lions

Grand theft in No. 133: the Lions steal Wilson and grade out a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jared Wilson slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at pick No. 133. Highway robbery.

Reaching for Prather left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 63 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in pick No. 95. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in the 101st overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
They read the board right and Cobee Bryant was the payoff at the 198th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 CJ West
Value with a capital V on CJ West in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick230 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick 230, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A big swing on Kaden Prather at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
