Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Lions let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jha'Quan Jackson, the 223rd pick, roughly 45 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Bertrand has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at pick No. 34 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick 61 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 73rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Fair-plus on DeWayne Carter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Value with a capital V on Jarrian Jones in the 163rd overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They talked themselves into JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 7, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in slot 183 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at Round 6, Pick 32 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Taking Jha'Quan Jackson in the 223rd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Barrett in pick 229. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 247 with a little surplus value in LaDarius Henderson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
