Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Golday should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Golday slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at the 93rd pick. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
A straight-up fair deal on Gabe Jacas at slot 50, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 21 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to No. 93, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Bryce Lance in pick 122, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cole Payton
A clean, defensible pick in the 205th pick with a little surplus value in Cole Payton. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
They liked Jimmy Rolder enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 207. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in the 230th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
