Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent No. 244 on Shilo Sanders, a name most had 39 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The McMillan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 28 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at pick No. 102, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 130th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 6, Pick 20, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A big swing on Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 228, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shilo Sanders well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
