Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Dillon Johnson sat on the board until the 205th overall pick, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinyon Mitchell in No. 29. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They paid sticker price for Zach Frazier in pick 61, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 73 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A quiet steal in the 164th overall pick: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 201st pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
Circle this one: Dillon Johnson at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 7, Pick 29 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
