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

The Lions looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Paris Shand at pick 228 regardless, 80 picks early. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Lacy steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick 32 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
A clean, defensible pick in slot 111 with a little surplus value in Keon Sabb. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy slipping to No. 133 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 149th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 195th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Paris Shand
Paris Shand at Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Germie Bernard
Value said wait; Germie Bernard in the 248th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
