Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Lions spent No. 133 on Fadil Diggs, a name the board had a full 99 spots lower.

The Brooks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 28 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at slot 60. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Fadil Diggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fadil Diggs well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick 198 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 CJ West
CJ West at the 227th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Nice patience on Jermari Harris, who had no business lasting to pick No. 230. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at slot 246 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
