Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Lions to a D-.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Jordan Jefferson, 41 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 6 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 84 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 93 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 130th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 167; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick251 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They talked themselves into Hayden Hatten at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
