Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Lions let Parrish fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Lions fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Parrish at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Ezeiruaku a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at No. 101 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
They robbed the room for Ajani Cornelius here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at slot 227 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A reach on Ty Hamilton in the 230th overall pick; the board had better options right there. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in Round 7, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
