Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Lions torched the value chart for Kalil Alexander, taking him 49 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Slaughter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
They read the board right and Arvell Reese was the payoff at Round 1, Pick 29. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at the 76th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
You do not let a safety like A.J. Haulcy reach slot 85 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Joe Royer
They robbed the room for Joe Royer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 118 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 5, Pick 17 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd5 LJ Martin
A tidy bit of business in pick 180, where LJ Martin graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in No. 188 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Earnest Greene III at slot 209 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
They reached a country mile for Kalil Alexander at pick No. 222, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
