Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 249 lands the Lions a B, Grable and all.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tylan Grable fell into pick 249.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Tupuola-Fetui pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy slid further than he should have, and the 61st pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 73. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
You do not let a safety like Kitan Oladapo reach slot 164 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
By-the-book stuff, Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 201st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They went early on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 205, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at pick No. 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
