Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Lions got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Lions, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Hall Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 18 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at Round 2, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid up for Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes slipping to slot 92 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They read the board right and Edefuan Ulofoshio was the payoff at the 166th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor at No. 207 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
A tidy bit of business in the 250th pick, where Kedon Slovis graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
