Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Thompson at pick No. 204, a reach of 61 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Reese to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
They went early on Jaeden Roberts in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A quiet steal in the 82nd pick: Malik Muhammad for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
They took Keon Sabb at par in slot 91, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They paid sticker price for Jaishawn Barham in the 112th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Logan Jones
No edge and no loss on Logan Jones in No. 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They paid up for Drew Allar at pick No. 134 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trinidad Chambliss
The board had cheaper options than Trinidad Chambliss at the 156th overall pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaydn Ott. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
By-the-book stuff, Evan Stewart at the 187th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalen Thompson
A wild overpay on Jalen Thompson in Round 6, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at slot 222 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
