Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Hadden fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kamal Hadden fell into No. 207.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
A quiet steal in pick 29: Quinyon Mitchell for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Fair-plus on Kingsley Suamataia, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick92 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at pick No. 92 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 5, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Lee
A reasonable price with a little left over, Logan Lee in No. 247. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
