Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B. The Lions did not so much draft Jake Majors as overpay for him, 30 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The Pearce Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In pick 28 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
The board had cheaper options than Elic Ayomanor at No. 60, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 102 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
