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

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Joe Milton III, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at Round 2, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Good price on Adisa Isaac in the 61st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Austin Booker at pick 90 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at slot 162, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A clean, defensible pick in the 164th pick with a little surplus value in Dwight McGlothern. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cornelius Johnson in slot 201. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Value with a capital V on Trente Jones in pick 205, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 249, where Edefuan Ulofoshio graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
