Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureD
Grand theft in pick 227: the Lions steal Mullings and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched Kalel Mullings slide 112 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They are betting Rogers proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at No. 60. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Somehow Maxwell Hairston was still sitting there in pick 101, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the 133rd pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They jumped the gun on Hayden Conner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to pick No. 227, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
A big swing on Caleb Rogers at the 246th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
