Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Lions won the night they stopped Jones from sliding. Grade: D-.

The phones were a trap the Lions kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Travis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Jones steal is the beam this whole class leans on. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 29th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A quiet steal in pick No. 53: Chris Braswell for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Nothing to complain about; Jermaine Burton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick 73 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Value said wait; Sione Vaki in No. 135 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Erick All
By-the-book stuff, Erick All at pick 201 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at slot 256 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the 257th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
