Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Lions reached some 37 spots for Logan Lee, and value like that does not grow back.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Isaac. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 73rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They talked themselves into Renardo Green at the 92nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They let Jarrian Jones come to them and pounced at No. 158. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at slot 204, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick228 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield slipping to Round 7, Pick 8 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
