Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Lions to a D+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Da'Shawn Womack at pick 204, a reach of 52 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in Round 1, Pick 17 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane is a better player than the 50th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at slot 53 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick118 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
No edge and no loss on Trinidad Chambliss in the 118th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kage Casey
A conviction pick on Kage Casey at pick No. 134 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
No drama and no debate, Aaron Graves went about where he belonged in the 156th overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick187 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They took Thaddeus Dixon at par in No. 187, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
A wild overpay on Da'Shawn Womack in pick 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Hall well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
