Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Baker: C+.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Javon Baker, the No. 186 name on the board, sitting there at slot 247 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Boyd lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

If Terrion Arnold and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 29th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 61 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in pick 73, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
No drama and no debate, Mason McCormick went about where he belonged in the 92nd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
A wild overpay on Khristian Boyd in pick No. 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd5 Austin Booker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Austin Booker in No. 138, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
By-the-book stuff, Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value with a capital V on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 5, Pick 27, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wiley in the 181st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 207th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Guerendo. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
