Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 148: the Lions steal Henderson and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched TreVeyon Henderson slide 87 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Every board in the league had Batty lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick 44, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They took Denzel Burke at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach No. 131 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at Round 5, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in pick No. 225 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in the 228th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
