Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B+.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 172 name on the board, in slot 228. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick131 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Rod Moore
The board fumbled Rod Moore all the way to No. 195, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the 228th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
No drama and no debate, Bryson Nesbit went about where he belonged in the 248th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
