Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Lions let Mayes fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: BJ Mayes, the No. 221 name on the board, stolen at pick 251. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick No. 62 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 D.J. James
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing D.J. James in slot 73. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sedrick Van Pran in the 93rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A clean, defensible pick in No. 167 with a little surplus value in Kitan Oladapo. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor in the 208th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
No edge and no loss on Taulia Tagovailoa in Round 6, Pick 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joshua Cephus at slot 241. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes at the 251st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
