Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Paul Jr. should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 88 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They read the board right and Tre Harris was the payoff at pick 60. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tate Ratledge in slot 100, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick198 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McLaughlin well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in No. 203 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at Round 6, Pick 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the 230th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at pick 246 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
