Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Lions shredded theirs for Mason Fairchild. He came off 170 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 27 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at the 59th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 84 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kedon Slovis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kedon Slovis well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 164th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Mason Fairchild
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason Fairchild this early at Round 6, Pick 30. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Value said wait; Nathaniel Watson in pick 248 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
