Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Lions, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Gentry proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Matthew Judon gives the group a proven body among the projects. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at the 62nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at slot 73, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick No. 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A conviction pick on Roger Rosengarten at No. 163 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Harrell. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A real head-scratcher, Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
No drama and no debate, Trey Taylor went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 28. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
