Draft Grade — Lions

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B. A patient hold paid off with Xavier Worthy at slot 73, comfortably ahead of the going rate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Rouse pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 29 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slid further than he should have, and the 61st overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Worthy at Round 3, Pick 9 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Calen Bullock worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
A reach for Walter Rouse in the 163rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford is a better player than pick 207 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at No. 247 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
