Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Phillips fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jordan Phillips had no business being available in the Round 4 slot, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. They are betting Gray proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 28th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at pick No. 60, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No edge and no loss on Jared Wilson in the 102nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 4, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A conviction pick on Joshua Gray at No. 196 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at the Round 7 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Nothing to complain about; Jabbar Muhammad went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
