Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Grant: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Charles Grant at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 28 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to pick 60, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
Circle this one: Benjamin Morrison at the 101st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in pick No. 133, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Darien Porter
They will replay Darien Porter at Round 5, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalen Milroe
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 198 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 227th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick No. 230 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Miles Frazier at the Round 7 slot is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
