Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Lions answered their biggest question with Dart. Grade: C.

Somebody in slot 246 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Tahj Brooks, the No. 126 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

They are betting Eason proves the room right and everyone else wrong. So much rides on Jaxson Dart that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Jaxson Dart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 28th overall pick they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 60th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 28 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby slipping to pick No. 198 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie in pick 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bryson Eason
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bryson Eason in the 230th overall pick, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
