Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
Frederique Jr. should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B-.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: OJ Frederique Jr., the No. 143 name on the board, sitting there at the 216th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Reaching for Abou Jaoude left real value on the table behind him. They went 1 of 1 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse. The back end got a real overhaul.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In slot 26 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Steal is underselling it; Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at pick No. 63 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jamari Sharpe
Jamari Sharpe in the 99th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They barely believed it either: Bray Hubbard still on the board at No. 128. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick132 Rnd4 Zereoue Williams
Zereoue Williams at pick 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jackson Bennee
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jackson Bennee in Round 5, Pick 25, plain and simple. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick171 Rnd5 Melkart Abou Jaoude
Melkart Abou Jaoude at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at the 184th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 OJ Frederique Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 216 is the definition of value, full stop. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Audavion Collins
Audavion Collins in slot 222 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick235 Rnd7 Lincoln Kienholz
They jumped the gun on Lincoln Kienholz, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick239 Rnd7 Wayshawn Parker
You do not let a running back like Wayshawn Parker reach the 239th pick and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick240 Rnd7 Que'Sean Brown
Que'Sean Brown at pick No. 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Caleb Odom
They paid a round early for Caleb Odom in the 247th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Elijah Pritchett
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Pritchett in Round 7, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
