Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tommy Mellott in slot 228, a good 156 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Trey Hendrickson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In pick No. 28 they get a green-dot type in the middle, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at slot 60 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Cobee Bryant. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at Round 6, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
A wild overpay on Tommy Mellott in the 228th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Conner well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
