Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Lions steal Pearsall and grade out a B.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ricky Pearsall fell into the 248th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Stackhouse pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 27 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They let T.J. Tampa come to them and pounced at the 59th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
A reach on Nazir Stackhouse in slot 84; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A slide stopped in the 127th overall pick, with Jalen McMillan worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 164 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 205 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Steal is underselling it; Ricky Pearsall at Round 7, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
