Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Lions get a C+.

The Lions looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jasheen Davis at No. 244 regardless, 112 picks early.

The Hairston pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at Round 1, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Marcus Mbow for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Maxwell Hairston in the 102nd overall pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in No. 130 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at slot 196 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
A real head-scratcher, Kai Kroeger in pick 228 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jasheen Davis well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
