Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Lions a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Lions, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Green steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 37th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They did well to land Chris Braswell in slot 61, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 73 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slid further than he should have, and the 92nd pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 163, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick207 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A straight-up fair deal on De'Corian Clark at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green slipping to Round 7, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
