Draft Grade — Lions

Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 12: the Lions steal Ransaw and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Caleb Ransaw got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at No. 228. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They took Jihaad Campbell at par in pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in slot 42 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 38, with Charles Grant worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 110 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 130 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Jason Marshall Jr. at the 196th pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 228th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zeek Biggers. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
