Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B-.

The Lions torched the value chart for Quintayvious Hutchins, taking him 51 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Allen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in Round 2, Pick 18 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.C. Davis this early at the 118th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth slipping to pick 128 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Quintayvious Hutchins
A real head-scratcher, Quintayvious Hutchins in the 157th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
A tidy bit of business in slot 181, where Cyrus Allen graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in the 205th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dalton Johnson
They paid sticker price for Dalton Johnson in slot 213, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Eric O'Neill
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric O'Neill in pick No. 222, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
