Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Harris: B-.

When a board-topper like Tre Harris slides to slot 188, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Chambers left real value on the table behind him.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A premium they did not need to pay, Kris Jenkins a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 D.J. James
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing D.J. James in the 91st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
A conviction pick on Luke Lachey at the 97th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in slot 145. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board had Jason Marshall Jr. higher than pick 156, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at slot 164 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in No. 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to pick 188, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 205th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A big swing on Steele Chambers at Round 7, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
