Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B-.

The Joshua Gray pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 64 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

On value alone, White III makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 28th pick they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at No. 130 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
A premium they did not need to pay, Alijah Huzzie a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Akili Arnold at Round 7, Pick 12 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Taking Ricky White III in slot 244 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
