Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Lions bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

The war room fell hard for Gabriel Rubio, and it showed at pick 203: 94 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Slaughter. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in the 50th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in the 113th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sam Roush
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Roush this early at the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at No. 155 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 186 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Gabriel Rubio
A real head-scratcher, Gabriel Rubio in the 203rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
They reached into another round for Jalen Catalon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
By-the-book stuff, Riley Mahlman at No. 222 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
