Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureC+
Good, not great, for the Lions: B-.

Nobody had Bru McCoy this high, and it is not close. The Lions reached 81 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot.

They banked enough surplus on Monangai to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Nice patience on Luther Burden III, who had no business lasting to slot 28. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Burch well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 90th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
They did well to land Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 131, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They paid up for Seth McLaughlin at the 194th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A wild overpay on Bru McCoy in pick 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in the 228th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 244 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
