Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Stewart from sliding. Grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josaiah Stewart had no business being available in the 247th pick, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 31 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 131st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick 196 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at pick No. 224 for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Fairchild at Round 7, Pick 15 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 247th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
