Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Batty; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 92 spots ahead at the Round 4 slot.

On value alone, Stout makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 28 they get a true top target, and a steal at that.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 28 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
A wild overpay on Tyler Batty in the 133rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Circle this one: Upton Stout at No. 198 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in pick 227 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Value with a capital V on Cam Jackson in No. 230, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Value said wait; Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick 246 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
