Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Sanders should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. T.J. Sanders at the 228th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board fumbled Tate Ratledge all the way to pick No. 60, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at the 131st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 194 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at the 225th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at Round 7, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick244 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 244 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
