Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 194th overall pick lands the Lions a B-, Skattebo and all.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Cam Skattebo, the No. 110 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 6 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick 28 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 60th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach pick No. 131 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 19 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
Somehow Jeremy Crawshaw was still sitting there in No. 225, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Briningstool in slot 228. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
They reached a country mile for Gentry Williams at the 244th pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
