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

The Lions looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jordan Strachan at pick 249 regardless, 96 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They banked enough surplus on Mitchell to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 29 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 61st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 73 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaden Crumedy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Strachan
Jordan Strachan at pick 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
