Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Lions got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The Lions lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It lands right in the middle: a C-, no more, no less.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The cost of the Zinter reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 15 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in the 85th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
