Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Lions to a D-.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in TJ Metcalf, taking him 42 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
They paid sticker price for Avieon Terrell in pick 15, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 22nd overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 50 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
They reached into another round for Caleb Tiernan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 Eric Singleton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Eric Singleton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Perkins Jr. in the 93rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A reach for Michael Trigg in Round 4, Pick 16; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at No. 117 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at slot 188 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 209th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
TJ Metcalf in the 222nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
