Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Tyler Onyedim selection is the head-turner. The Lions reached 57 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. However the rest shakes out, Reese at that price is a win they earned.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 26 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in No. 50: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A clean, defensible pick in pick 82 with a little surplus value in Malik Muhammad. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
The board had cheaper options than Chris McClellan at slot 118, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick155 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They paid a round early for Aaron Graves in Round 5, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
No drama and no debate, Aamil Wagner went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
The board had Febechi Nwaiwu higher than No. 186, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
They paid sticker price for Bobby Jamison-Travis in slot 203, and that is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black in the 212th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tyler Onyedim
Tyler Onyedim at pick 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
