Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: B.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Richard Jibunor, 69 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Pearsall at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jonah Elliss
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tyler Davis
A big swing on Tyler Davis at No. 64, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 84 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the 93rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khyree Jackson in pick 97, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Value with a capital V on Roman Wilson in slot 130, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at No. 167 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
They barely believed it either: Ricky Pearsall still on the board at the 178th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Circle this one: Cam Hart at pick No. 210 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten in the 236th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
They reached a country mile for Richard Jibunor at slot 251, and the board is aghast. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
