Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Lions: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Lions took Ty French a full 321 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Baron value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Princely Umanmielen that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In No. 28 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kobe Hudson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kobe Hudson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd3 Ty French
Ty French at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at slot 133 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in Round 6, Pick 20 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joe Huber
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Huber this early at the 227th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Malik Verdon
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Malik Verdon. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Aydan White
Aydan White at the 246th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
