Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Lions let Tuten fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Bhayshul Tuten slides to pick 196, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Jones lower, and that gap is the story.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 31 they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in pick 60, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 95th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jared Wilson in the 102nd pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
They jumped the gun on Sai'vion Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 133 with a little surplus value in Nohl Williams. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 196 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 7, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
