Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Johnson: B+.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cornelius Johnson, the No. 211 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nothing to complain about; Nate Wiggins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in slot 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Corley at pick No. 73, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 76th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A tidy little value on Christian Mahogany in pick 91, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A slide stopped in the 109th pick, with Spencer Rattler worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 28 is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tahj Brooks at No. 205 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to Round 7, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
