Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Mason Fairchild, 82 picks early at the 208th overall pick.

The Robinson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 30 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Somehow Chop Robinson was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 93 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson slid further than he should have, and No. 167 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Mason Fairchild
A wild overpay on Mason Fairchild in pick 208, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter is a better player than slot 251 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
