Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Sanders: B.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Raheim Sanders fell into No. 225. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Toia reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach slot 65 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
They jumped the gun on Jack Nelson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
No edge and no loss on Rylie Mills in the 131st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick194 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in pick 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jay Toia
Jay Toia at pick No. 228 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick244 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 244th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
