Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jack Pyburn, 59 picks early at Round 7, Pick 6. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Slaughter steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In slot 21 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 LT Overton
They went early on LT Overton in No. 57, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 76th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Value with a capital V on Michael Taaffe in the 77th pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They paid a round early for DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 18, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Drew Allar
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Allar. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick No. 157 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at Round 5, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
They took Matt Gulbin at par in pick 181, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Seth McGowan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Seth McGowan in slot 188. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Value said wait; Miles Kitselman in No. 205 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jack Pyburn
Jack Pyburn in the 222nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in the 241st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
