Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
The Lions won the night they stopped Stewart from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Josaiah Stewart, the No. 53 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 246.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick No. 28 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in the 60th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at slot 133 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at Round 6, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to No. 217, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 219th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 222 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 227 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at slot 230 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Josaiah Stewart in pick 246, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
