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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Smael Mondon Jr. got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick 198.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Every board in the league had Ratledge lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A premium they did not need to pay, Tate Ratledge a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to the 133rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 23 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 227th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 230 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Fair-plus on Logan Parr, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
