Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Lions won the night they stopped Rosemy-Jacksaint from sliding. Grade: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Lions did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Getting Rosemy-Jacksaint where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in No. 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in pick 56 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 61st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 9. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They paid up for DeWayne Carter at the 89th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joe Milton III in No. 174, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Circle this one: Jha'Quan Jackson at pick No. 201 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
No edge and no loss on Julian Pearl in Round 6, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Taking Evan Williams in slot 244 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 249th overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
