Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 230 lands the Lions a B-, Stout and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Upton Stout, the No. 184 name on the board, stolen at the 230th overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Ivey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In pick No. 28 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Ivey this early at the 60th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid sticker price for Jake Majors in No. 101, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They will replay Jaylin Noel at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in slot 198 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 227th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Steal is underselling it; Upton Stout at pick 230 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in Round 7, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
