Draft Grade — Lions
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesF FutureF
The Lions jumped the board for Womack and paid for it: F.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Lions would have aced it. Da'Shawn Womack at pick No. 187 is 82 spots clear of where he belonged. There is no dressing it up: a F.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That Lew pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick 8 they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 28 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
No drama and no debate, Dillon Thieneman went about where he belonged in No. 42. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Harold Perkins Jr.
They reached a country mile for Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 2, Pick 17, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They talked themselves into Bryce Lance at pick No. 76, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They did well to land Domani Jackson in No. 118, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Miller
No edge and no loss on Blake Miller in pick 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A reach for DJ Campbell in the 156th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Raylen Wilson in slot 166 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at the 187th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalen Thompson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Thompson this early at pick No. 204. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
Rueben Owens II in Round 7, Pick 6 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Haynes King
This one needs a full-page explanation: Haynes King in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jack Velling
Jack Velling at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Trey Holly
The board had cheaper options than Trey Holly at the 254th overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Luke Hasz
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Hasz a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
