Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

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

Every board in the league had Gentry lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Davis pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in No. 61 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in pick 73, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A conviction pick on Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Javon Baker
A big swing on Javon Baker at the 163rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They paid up for Jordan Jefferson at slot 176 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis is a better player than the 207th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 209 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
