Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B

More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Lions walked out of the weekend still thin at safety, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If Stover pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 29th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at pick 65 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 9. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A tidy little value on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in No. 201, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 205, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony slid further than he should have, and the 249th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
