Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Melton: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Max Melton, the 208th pick, roughly 97 picks past where he belonged.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In pick No. 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the 62nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 3, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in pick 93, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 167th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Max Melton
They will replay Max Melton at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Green
A safety of that caliber at slot 251 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
