Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
Grand theft in the 227th overall pick: the Lions steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Smael Mondon Jr. fell into the 227th overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Simmons at Round 1, Pick 17, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at the 48th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
By-the-book stuff, Mello Dotson at pick No. 133 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout slid further than he should have, and slot 198 is lovely value for the safety. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 227 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick 230 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 246th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
