Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions let Barron fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jahdae Barron tumbling to the Lions in No. 61 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mykel Williams in No. 28. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
They barely believed it either: Jahdae Barron still on the board at the 61st pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in pick 62, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro slid further than he should have, and pick No. 101 is lovely value for the safety. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
