Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named safety, a need the Lions walked right past. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The veteran additions, Tyler Boyd chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick 36 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 61st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid a round early for Khyree Jackson in No. 73, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 29, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 101 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 199th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
