Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 249th pick lands the Lions a B, Magee and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Jordan Magee, the No. 161 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in slot 61 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A reach for Devontez Walker in pick 73; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 164th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick201 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 201 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in Round 6, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the 249th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
