Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureC
The Lions bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jordan Travis; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at the 140th overall pick. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Hit on Cooper DeJean and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and slot 40 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in pick No. 61. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Bralen Trice. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Travis this early at pick 140. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
A slide stopped in the 181st pick, with Malik Mustapha worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in the 201st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at pick 249 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
