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

Some picks age like wine; Caleb Rogers at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 138 spots clear of his grade.

Getting Mukuba where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 102 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They did well to land Nohl Williams in Round 4, Pick 28, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
They reached a country mile for Caleb Rogers at slot 196, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 228th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They took Zeek Biggers at par in No. 244, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
