Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Lions a B, Davis and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tyler Davis, pick No. 139, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 29 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick67 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James slid further than he should have, and pick No. 67 is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 9, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the 139th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They will replay Beau Brade at the 152nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Nice patience on Jalyx Hunt, who had no business lasting to slot 164. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Flournoy at pick 201, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in slot 249 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
