Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

Nobody else had Trey Moore anywhere near pick No. 198. The Lions did, by 95 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Riley at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jake Majors
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jake Majors well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd3 Will Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Will Howard at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Circle this one: Tory Horton at the 133rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at No. 198 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 208th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No drama and no debate, Cam Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Adams in pick No. 230, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A reach on Tonka Hemingway in slot 246; the board had better options right there. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
