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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Makari Paige in the 244th overall pick, a good 67 spots before the room expected him.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thornton Jr..

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 28th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
They liked Omarr Norman-Lott enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 60. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick102 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Slater in pick No. 130 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They read the board right and Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Value said wait; Xavier Truss in Round 7, Pick 12 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Makari Paige
Makari Paige at the 244th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
