Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Lions landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Miles Kitselman; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 31 spots ahead at pick No. 155.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Lew steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 26th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick76 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at No. 85 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick 118 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bryce Boettcher
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryce Boettcher. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at Round 5, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at slot 186 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jack Velling
Jack Velling at pick 203 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Smith at pick No. 212 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Haynes King
A conviction pick on Haynes King at No. 222 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
