Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Eric Gentry at the 212th overall pick, a reach of 100 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 30th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Iheanachor in slot 50, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A conviction pick on Caden Curry at the 94th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Hezekiah Masses
They reached into another round for Hezekiah Masses, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Louis in Round 4, Pick 8 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
A tidy bit of business in pick 118, where Bishop Fitzgerald graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
By-the-book stuff, Sam Roush at pick 155 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the 186th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in the 203rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 6, Pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keyron Crawford. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
Value said wait; Will Kacmarek in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
