Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B.

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Getting McMillan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at the 61st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 73rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They let Jalen McMillan come to them and pounced at pick 92. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
