Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The J.J. Weaver selection is the head-turner. The Lions reached 62 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They banked enough surplus on Rouse to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nate Wiggins in No. 29. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick No. 61 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jaden Hicks in the 94th overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 207th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Frank Gore Jr. at the 247th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 249th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
