Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Lions shredded theirs for Isaac TeSlaa. He came off 22 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 28th overall pick they get a load in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 102nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac TeSlaa well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
