Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 164 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 196 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Derrick Harmon in pick 34. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick60 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 60th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They paid sticker price for Malachi Moore in No. 99, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Fair-plus on Jalen Milroe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They jumped the gun on Cody Simon, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to slot 196, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at the 225th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Somehow Robert Longerbeam was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
