Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
The Lions bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Tanner Mordecai selection is the head-turner. The Lions reached 74 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 92 with a little surplus value in Michael Hall Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 163 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A tidy little value on Josh Proctor in pick 201, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in the 207th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
They barely believed it either: Miyan Williams still on the board at the 247th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tanner Mordecai
Value said wait; Tanner Mordecai in the 255th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
