Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Bowman Jr.: B+.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 118 name on the board, in the 195th overall pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Lachey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick64 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in pick No. 64; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick131 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 195th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaishawn Barham in slot 228. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 248 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
