Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Jake Majors pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 51 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in the 60th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A wild overpay on Jake Majors in the 81st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at pick 192 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at pick No. 228 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in No. 244 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
