Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 12 lands the Lions a B, Neal and all.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Devin Neal fell into the Round 7 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Dellinger reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 28th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 60 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to slot 131, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in the Round 6 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at Round 7, Pick 9. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in the 228th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
A real head-scratcher, Gentry Williams in No. 244 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
