Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Muhammad fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Malik Muhammad slides to Round 4, Pick 18, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 17th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They took Gennings Dunker at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in pick No. 118 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A tidy little value on Parker Brailsford in Round 4, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
