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

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and DJ Giddens fell into the Round 7 slot.

They are betting Ritzie proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In pick No. 28 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos slipping to Round 2, Pick 28 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at slot 133 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They will replay Jack Nelson at the 198th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick 227 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at No. 230 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the 246th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
