Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Lions let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Sheridan Jones got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick 249. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Lee lower, and that gap is the story.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 22nd pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 32 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in the 95th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 153 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Circle this one: Nehemiah Pritchett at pick 164 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
The board had Jordan Travis higher than slot 181, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They paid up for Logan Lee at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach the 205th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the 225th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Steal is underselling it; Garret Greenfield at slot 235 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Sheridan Jones in pick 249, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
