Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Hadden from sliding. Grade: B.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kamal Hadden, the No. 168 name on the board, in the 249th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Eboigbe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Joe Alt
They will replay Joe Alt at Round 1, Pick 29 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 61 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Khyree Jackson worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at the 124th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at pick 131 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They barely believed it either: Mason McCormick still on the board at slot 164. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at pick No. 249 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
