Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Jake Majors at pick 102 will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Mickens to cover a lot of smaller sins. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 28 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at Round 2, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in the 130th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 196 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They read the board right and R.J. Mickens was the payoff at No. 228. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Torricelli Simpkins III well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
