Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Pearsall. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched Ricky Pearsall slide 46 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King is a better player than slot 62 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in pick 84 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They let McKinnley Jackson come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 30. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in pick No. 130. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Nothing to complain about; Connor Colby went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Circle this one: Ricky Pearsall at the 251st pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
