Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Lions' one glaring miss is safety, a need they left exactly as they found it. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They banked enough surplus on Tampa to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 60th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. slipping to pick No. 73 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Washington
A tidy little value on Malik Washington in Round 5, Pick 29, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
By-the-book stuff, Tatum Bethune at the 206th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
They did well to land Donovan Jennings in No. 249, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
