Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
Washington should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Washington, Round 7, Pick 27, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Barrett reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 29 they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board had Khyree Jackson higher than No. 92, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A clean, defensible pick in slot 105 with a little surplus value in Christian Mahogany. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They paid a round early for Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at pick No. 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Barrett well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
They robbed the room for Tahj Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
