Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Collin Oliver pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 96 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Higgins steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in Round 1, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick60 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 60th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
No edge and no loss on Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
Value said wait; Tommi Hill in pick 133 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 198 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 227th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at No. 230 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A reach for Logan Parr in the 246th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
