Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Jones: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jarrian Jones got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 166. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Bortolini reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner slipping to No. 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kalen King
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 61 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They paid sticker price for Brandon Dorlus in the 73rd pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Junior Colson at slot 92 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
The board fumbled Jarrian Jones all the way to the 166th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at Round 6, Pick 32, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick No. 250 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
