Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Lions shredded theirs for Maliq Carr. He came off 154 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A straight-up fair deal on Jihaad Campbell at No. 40, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A big swing on Jared Ivey at the 60th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They took Jalen Milroe at par in pick 101, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 4, Pick 32 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cobee Bryant in the 198th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
A wild overpay on Tosh Baker in Round 7, Pick 9, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Maliq Carr
They left a pile of value on the table to take Maliq Carr this early at the 230th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts in pick 246 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
