Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Lions a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Lions, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Cephus pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

L'Jarius Sneed gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Good price on Braden Fiske in the 61st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
No drama and no debate, Malik Mustapha went about where he belonged in pick No. 164. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Julian Pearl. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 205th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick 249 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
