Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Key from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Dane Key had no business being available in the 219th pick, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick 24 they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Cade Klubnik
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Klubnik at pick No. 55, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They paid sticker price for Charles Jagusah in the 123rd overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in the 134th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 24 with a little surplus value in Tanner Koziol. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Nwokobia in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dane Key
Dane Key in No. 219 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
