Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Caldwell: B.

When a board-topper like Jamaree Caldwell slides to the 196th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. They will need Bryant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Shemar Stewart at slot 28. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at No. 102 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
They robbed the room for Jamaree Caldwell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
