Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B.

The Lions' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

That Hart pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in pick No. 61. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kingsley Suamataia at slot 73. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brandon Dorlus in No. 93. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Cam Hart graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 205th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton slid further than he should have, and pick 249 is lovely value for the safety. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at Round 7, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
