Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Lions skipped the loudest one: cornerback is exactly as bare as it was. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

On the needs board they went 2 of 9, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in pick No. 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in No. 60 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
