Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Wilson from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Johnny Wilson tumbling to the Lions in the 164th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 29 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 29, with Kris Jenkins worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy bit of business in the 73rd pick, where Christian Haynes graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Johnny Wilson in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They did well to land Curtis Jacobs in the 201st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Harrell at slot 205 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to pick 249, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
