Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Lions. For now, C+.

The Jayden Higgins pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 30 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In the 28th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick60 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 60, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
