Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Milum. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Wyatt Milum, the No. 36 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 28 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 28th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
They barely believed it either: Shemar Stewart still on the board at slot 60. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at No. 101 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 133rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 227 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 7, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in the 248th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
You do not let a quarterback like Jaxson Dart reach pick 249 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
