Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Frazier. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Miles Frazier slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at the 228th overall pick. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Jones Jr. left real value on the table behind him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 28th pick they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen at slot 60 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
They reached a country mile for Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jordan Burch
You do not let an edge rusher like Jordan Burch reach No. 196 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at Round 7, Pick 12 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to pick No. 244, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
