Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Powers-Johnson: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jackson Powers-Johnson, the No. 29 name on the board, stolen at Round 2, Pick 29. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 29th pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 61 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A conviction pick on Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Hart at Round 3, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Justin Eboigbe at pick 163. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cornelius Johnson at the 204th overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in No. 249 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
