Draft Grade — Lions

ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Horton should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tory Horton got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 130. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 28 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at No. 60 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A tidy little value on Ashton Gillotte in the 102nd pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Somehow Tory Horton was still sitting there in slot 130, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quincy Riley at pick No. 196. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
