Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA TradesA+ FutureC-
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Lions were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Landing Cooper Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 14 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A tidy little value on Jordan Travis in pick 163, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
The board had Ryan Cooper Jr. higher than the 247th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
