Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Edwards: B-.

When a board-topper like Donovan Edwards slides to pick 230, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Frazier to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 28 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Nice patience on Tre Harris, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 28. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in the 101st pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They did well to land Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 133, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 198 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They jumped the gun on Miles Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at slot 230 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Chimere Dike in the 246th overall pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
