Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in pick 132 lands the Lions a B, Jackson and all.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Khyree Jackson, the No. 95 name on the board, sitting there at No. 132 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

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

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at Round 2, Pick 23 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
The board had Kingsley Suamataia higher than pick No. 73, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in No. 95. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They robbed the room for Khyree Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the 202nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Hall a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Taylor this early at pick 249. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A tidy little value on Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 255, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
