Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 249th overall pick lands the Lions a B, Rosemy-Jacksaint and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 195 name on the board, stolen at No. 249. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Means reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 29 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 73rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Bub Means
They reached a country mile for Bub Means at slot 201, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Barrett well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They robbed the room for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
