Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Lions walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Toles has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Landing Booker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 30 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 73rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 93. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Nice patience on Austin Booker, who had no business lasting to the 167th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
No drama and no debate, Tanor Bortolini went about where he belonged in pick 208. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Toles at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
