Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Lions.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Lions left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 60th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Value with a capital V on Savion Williams in Round 3, Pick 38, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jake Majors
No edge and no loss on Jake Majors in pick 130; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Upton Stout
They let Upton Stout come to them and pounced at the 196th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in pick No. 228, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone slid further than he should have, and No. 244 is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
