Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Lions lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Lions went off the board in a big way for Andrew Raym, 30 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Odunze pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick No. 39 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Burton in the 52nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 61st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They took Brandon Dorlus at par in slot 73, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in No. 201 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
The board had cheaper options than JD Bertrand at the 205th pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They reached a country mile for Andrew Raym at No. 209, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jowon Briggs well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
