Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Taylor-Demerson: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Lions did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Taylor-Demerson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will need Travis to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in pick 47, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 73rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They robbed the room for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick No. 126 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in No. 164 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
The board fumbled Isaiah Williams all the way to pick 201, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They will replay Tatum Bethune at the 249th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
