Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Lions lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Lions spent real capital to be 149 picks early on J.J. Weaver, and the board is going to hold them to it.

That Shough pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nick Emmanwori at the Round 1 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 60th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 101st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 32 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at slot 198 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Somehow Tyler Shough was still sitting there in the 227th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 230 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in No. 246 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
