Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

Some picks age like wine; Jake Majors at the 102nd pick will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade.

On value alone, Graham makes the weekend a net positive. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham in the 28th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick63 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at Round 2, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A real head-scratcher, Jake Majors in pick 102 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at No. 130 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A tidy little value on Jaylen Reed in pick No. 196, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A conviction pick on Desmond Watson at the 228th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick No. 244 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
