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

The war room fell hard for Jake Majors, and it showed at pick 102: 29 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Strong where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Donovan Ezeiruaku
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in pick No. 60 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 102nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong slid further than he should have, and pick 130 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Upton Stout
They did well to land Upton Stout in No. 196, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A reach for Cam Horsley in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A wild overpay on Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 244, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
