Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Mullings fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kalel Mullings, No. 228, roughly 120 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the 64th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 130th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at pick 194 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
They will replay Kalel Mullings at pick No. 228 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
The board fumbled Jake Briningstool all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
