Draft Grade — Lions

Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Lions: C+. The Lions torched the value chart for Jack Sawyer, taking him 30 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In No. 28 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jack Bech
A reach on Jack Bech in Round 2, Pick 28; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
