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

Thirty-one other rooms let Jamon Dumas-Johnson slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at pick 228. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Ivey proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at slot 42. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
The board had cheaper options than Jared Ivey at Round 2, Pick 32, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Nice patience on Jake Majors, who had no business lasting to No. 109. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 131st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A premium they did not need to pay, Seth McLaughlin a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Value with a capital V on Miles Frazier in pick 225, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to the 248th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
