Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Trajan Jeffcoat, 70 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That Guyton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 22nd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick No. 61 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They barely believed it either: Cole Bishop still on the board at Round 4, Pick 20. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A tidy little value on Jaylin Simpson in pick 164, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trajan Jeffcoat
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trajan Jeffcoat in the 205th overall pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Bub Means
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 249 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
