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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Smael Mondon Jr. got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at Round 4, Pick 32. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They are betting Webb proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 28th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Fair-plus on Elic Ayomanor, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick No. 101 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick133 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at the 198th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Nice patience on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, who had no business lasting to pick 227. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A premium they did not need to pay, Clay Webb a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
No edge and no loss on Brandon Adams in No. 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
