Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped McClellan from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Jase McClellan sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick No. 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 73 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Mahogany at slot 97. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
They paid sticker price for Cedric Johnson in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at No. 167 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at the 172nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at the 208th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kurtis Rourke at the 251st pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
