Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Lions walked out of the weekend still thin at offensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams. If Elliss pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at pick No. 36, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell is a better player than pick 61 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 73. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A conviction pick on Jonah Elliss at the 78th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Nothing to complain about; Jaylin Simpson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
No edge and no loss on Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A slide stopped in slot 249, with Evan Williams worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
