Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Johnson: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cornelius Johnson at Round 7, Pick 28 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Ratledge pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They reached a country mile for Tate Ratledge at pick No. 84, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Nice patience on Rod Moore, who had no business lasting to pick 91. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
No drama and no debate, Smael Mondon Jr. went about where he belonged in the 127th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
A tidy bit of business in No. 156, where Jason Marshall Jr. graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 164 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They will replay LaDarius Henderson at the 205th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in slot 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
They took Turner Corcoran at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
