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

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jay Higgins fell into pick No. 225. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 28th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 82 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to the 131st overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at pick No. 194 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach slot 225 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Value said wait; Gentry Williams in No. 228 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 28 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
