Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Lee fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cayden Lee, the No. 169 name on the board, stolen at Round 6, Pick 24. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Moore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They took Trevor Goosby at par in pick 59, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at No. 125 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They robbed the room for Rayshaun Benny here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cayden Lee
Taking Cayden Lee in the 207th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick No. 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at slot 224 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
