Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 250: the Lions steal Pearl and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Julian Pearl, pick 250, roughly 65 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold slipping to pick 37 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 61 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
Somehow Kamari Lassiter was still sitting there in pick No. 73, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at slot 92. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
A linebacker of that caliber at the 105th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Circle this one: Isaiah Davis at Round 6, Pick 32 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Julian Pearl in the 250th overall pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
