Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Lions.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent pick 125 on Kameryn Crawford, a name most had 35 spots down the list.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cole. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Chris Cole
They will replay Chris Cole at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Marcus Neal Jr.
Somehow Marcus Neal Jr. was still sitting there in No. 118, and they pounced on premier safety value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kameryn Crawford
A wild overpay on Kameryn Crawford in pick No. 125, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Hollywood Smothers
Hollywood Smothers at slot 155 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
A clean, defensible pick in the 157th overall pick with a little surplus value in Mateen Ibirogba. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
The board fumbled Jayden Virgin-Morgan all the way to slot 186, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Eric Singleton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Singleton Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Niki Prongos
A straight-up fair deal on Niki Prongos at the 203rd pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaden Platt
They paid sticker price for Jaden Platt in pick 212, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Donovan Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Jones in the 222nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
