Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Joe Milton III at the 164th pick, a reach of 36 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Grable pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 29th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Fair-plus on Braden Fiske, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They took Austin Booker at par in No. 73, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 28 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 201. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They let Trente Jones come to them and pounced at pick 205. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
