Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Lions.

There is reaching, and then there is Kamran James at the Round 7 slot. The Lions jumped the board by 127 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Lee III pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Blake Miller
In pick No. 17 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Keyron Crawford
A big swing on Keyron Crawford at Round 2, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Julian Neal at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They took Harold Perkins Jr. at par in the 125th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at pick 130 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A slide stopped in the 131st pick, with Will Lee III worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Good price on Nate Boerkircher in slot 157, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They did well to land DJ Campbell in the 181st pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
The board had Jaydn Ott higher than pick No. 188, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis in pick 205 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kamran James
A real head-scratcher, Kamran James in Round 7, Pick 6 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
