Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Wheatley fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Zakee Wheatley slides to Round 4, Pick 27, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Hallman lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 28 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick No. 59 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in No. 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Vincent Anthony Jr. at Round 5, Pick 28, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 208 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jackson Arnold
They will replay Jackson Arnold at the 216th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
A conviction pick on Ricardo Hallman at the 221st overall pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
