Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Bryant. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Pat Bryant had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
No drama and no debate, Azareye'h Thomas went about where he belonged in pick No. 60. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 37. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 133rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
They robbed the room for Pat Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Woody Marks
The board fumbled Woody Marks all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
The board had Cam Jackson higher than the 246th pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
