Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Joe Milton III, 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

With cornerback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on interior defensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Grable falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 29 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T'Vondre Sweat in the 61st pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Braden Fiske adds an interior defensive lineman and leaves cornerback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joe Milton III in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slid further than he should have, and No. 201 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They paid sticker price for Julian Pearl in the 205th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at Round 7, Pick 29 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
