Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Lions took Christian Mahogany at pick 142, roughly 52 spots before his name belonged.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Lions indulged a want in Tampa while a need in cornerback, safety and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in pick No. 31 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A curious use of the Round 2 slot. Cornerback, safety and other spots needed the pick; a defensive back in T.J. Tampa did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kris Abrams-Draine adds a defensive back and leaves cornerback, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick93 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in pick 93 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A want over a need in slot 105: Khyree Jackson adds a defensive back while cornerback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick130 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at No. 130, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 5, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
Value with a capital V on J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 167, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tre Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, Tre Harris a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jestin Jacobs
Fair-plus on Jestin Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at pick No. 251 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
