Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Bryant: B.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Pat Bryant, the No. 143 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Steal is underselling it; Jahdae Barron at the 60th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 101 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick133 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Logan Brown
They barely believed it either: Logan Brown still on the board at Round 6, Pick 20. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Earnest Greene III
They robbed the room for Earnest Greene III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at No. 230 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in slot 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
