Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
The Lions robbed the room for James. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. DJ James at Round 4, Pick 22 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The veteran additions, Khalil Mack chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 12th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in the Round 1 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Value with a capital V on Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 69, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 DJ James
They barely believed it either: DJ James still on the board at slot 122. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
