Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

FutureC
The Lions finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Lions, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick 6 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 9th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in the 16th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick23
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
