FutureB
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jalen Thompson at the 204th overall pick is 61 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Reese.
The trade work was a quiet net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 50 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
The board had Malik Muhammad higher than pick 82, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91
Rnd3
Keon Sabb
A straight-up fair deal on Keon Sabb at No. 91, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118
Rnd4
Blake Miller
They took Blake Miller at par in slot 118, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Value with a capital V on Tacario Davis in the 123rd overall pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Logan Jones
No edge and no loss on Logan Jones in pick No. 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Drew Allar
They paid a round early for Drew Allar in the 134th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156
Rnd5
Trinidad Chambliss
A conviction pick on Trinidad Chambliss at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in slot 167 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
They paid sticker price for Evan Stewart in Round 6, Pick 7, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson at pick 204 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jordan Hall
They talked themselves into Jordan Hall at No. 222, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
