Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Williams from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Isaiah Williams, the No. 180 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 30.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Abrams-Draine pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 29th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
They reached into another round for Kris Abrams-Draine, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaheim Bell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They paid a round early for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 201, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
They robbed the room for Isaiah Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at pick No. 249 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
