Draft Grade — Lions

Good, not great, for the Lions: B. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Donovan Jackson at pick 60, a reach of 22 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
In pick No. 28 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at slot 60. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
