Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jake Majors at pick 102 will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. That Ransaw pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
By-the-book stuff, Emeka Egbuka at slot 28 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 102nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
A reach on Caleb Rogers in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 228th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alex Mastromanno at Round 7, Pick 28 is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
