Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Lions bet the future on Williams. The board says B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Lions committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That Abrams-Draine pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 30 they get a passer to set the clock by, and a steal at that.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Nothing to complain about; Brandon Dorlus went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at slot 92 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy slipping to pick No. 93 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 166th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A safety of that caliber at the 207th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
The board fumbled J.J. Weaver all the way to No. 250, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
