Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Akheem Mesidor pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 34 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Fifita at that price is a win they earned.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick No. 27 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
A tidy bit of business in pick 59, where Zachariah Branch graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Connor Tollison
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Connor Tollison well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 166th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Noah Fifita
Nice patience on Noah Fifita, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 12. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
They read the board right and Tristan Leigh was the payoff at the 205th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
A real head-scratcher, Akheem Mesidor in the 240th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
A tidy little value on Dasan McCullough in pick No. 255, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
