Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 247th pick: the Lions steal Skattebo and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in slot 247, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

White has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josaiah Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach No. 63 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at pick No. 129 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Aydan White
Aydan White at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Taking Miles Frazier in pick 222 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 229th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 247th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
