Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B-.

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On value alone, Trice makes the weekend a net positive.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice slid further than he should have, and slot 30 is lovely value for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 30 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 73rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 93rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Javon Baker
The board had cheaper options than Javon Baker at pick No. 167, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid a round early for Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 208, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
