Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Pritchett: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nehemiah Pritchett, the Round 5 slot, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Hanson lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A quiet steal in the 73rd overall pick: Kamren Kinchens for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at the 165th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A tidy little value on Trente Jones in Round 6, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
No edge and no loss on Tanner McLachlan in pick 205; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Magee went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
A conviction pick on C.J. Hanson at pick No. 249 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
