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

Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Pegues pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 60 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in No. 107, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jake Majors
No drama and no debate, Jake Majors went about where he belonged in pick No. 130. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in the 142nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Value with a capital V on JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
