Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC- NeedA- TradesA- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B.

The Lions looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Will Kacmarek at Round 6, Pick 24 regardless, 113 picks early.

On value alone, Wagner makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They talked themselves into Dani Dennis-Sutton at slot 50, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They paid sticker price for Bud Clark in No. 118, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They did well to land Kyle Louis in the 155th pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in the 186th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek at pick No. 203 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in the 212th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
