Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

For all the boxes ticked, the Lions skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Rosengarten lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 29. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson slid further than he should have, and pick 92 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 166th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in No. 207 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 250th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
