Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Lions land in the muddy middle: C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric Gentry in the 212th overall pick, a good 66 spots before the room expected him.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In slot 18 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Jacas this early at pick 50. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They paid a round early for Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at No. 118 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in the 155th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick No. 186 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at the 203rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in Round 6, Pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at the 222nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
