Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureD-
The Lions robbed the room for McGlothern. Final grade: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Lions, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

They banked enough surplus on McGlothern to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 26th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 29 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in Round 2, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in pick 61. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They paid sticker price for Austin Booker in No. 73, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 106 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick114 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in No. 114 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 205 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A clean, defensible pick in the 249th overall pick with a little surplus value in KT Leveston. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
