Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Lee III from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in the 89th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Will Lee III, the No. 56 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Young pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Zion Young
In No. 26 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 57th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the 60th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in slot 89 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Good price on Jalon Kilgore in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They liked Marlin Klein enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 155. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A straight-up fair deal on Bud Clark at pick 186, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cole Payton
They took Cole Payton at par in Round 6, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
No edge and no loss on Bryce Foster in slot 212; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 222nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
