Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Mafah: B.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Phil Mafah, the No. 222 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 28th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that.
Pick60 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau is a better player than slot 60 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Somehow Ozzy Trapilo was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 38, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jacob Parrish at pick 130. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A slide stopped in pick No. 196, with Jaylen Reed worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
The board had Alijah Huzzie higher than the Round 7 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at the 244th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
