Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Lions a A.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Lions were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They are betting Hart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That Washington pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The veteran additions, Puka Nacua chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jared Verse and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 30 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Howard Cross III
Fair-plus on Howard Cross III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington slipping to the 93rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the 130th pick, where Roman Wilson graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at No. 167 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
