Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureC+
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Lions.

The Lions looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Curtis Jacobs at slot 160 regardless, 38 picks early. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Lions paired the rookies with proven help, Jakobi Meyers leading the way.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They took Ruke Orhorhoro at par in No. 61, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A reach on Jonah Elliss in the 73rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javion Cohen this early at pick No. 134. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Value said wait; Malik Mustapha in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 160th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They barely believed it either: Ainias Smith still on the board at No. 163. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They will replay Jarrian Jones at pick No. 164 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A reach for Joe Milton III in slot 189; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They paid a round early for Logan Lee in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick205 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 205 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 249th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
