Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Alijah Clark at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 55 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in slot 60 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Slater this early at Round 3, Pick 37. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Emery Jones Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Alijah Clark
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alijah Clark well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 227th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Taking Kyle Williams in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
