Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Lions won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tristan Leigh at slot 247 is 42 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took White III. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Kennard this early at the 40th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy little value on Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 58, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 63 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rylie Mills. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick131 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Nothing to complain about; Sonny Styles went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 10 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at No. 230 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A big swing on Tristan Leigh at the 247th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Justin Walley
They talked themselves into Justin Walley at the 250th pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
