Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Lions started one anyway for Fadil Diggs, 99 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Brown that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Landon Jackson at pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
They took Jalen Royals at par in the 60th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
They reached into another round for Jackson Slater, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in Round 4, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in No. 198 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They liked Seth McLaughlin enough to skip the value, taking him in the 227th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They read the board right and Jermari Harris was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 12. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the 246th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
