Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Lions a B, Simon and all.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cody Simon fell into No. 198. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Every board in the league had Majors lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at slot 60, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A tidy little value on Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Phillips reach pick No. 133 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 6, Pick 20 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They let Trey Zuhn III come to them and pounced at the 227th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Somehow Phil Mafah was still sitting there in pick 230, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at No. 246 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
