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

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, in pick No. 201. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If All 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 Chop Robinson
In the 29th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in pick 82, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 17 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They jumped the gun on Layden Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Erick All
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at pick No. 191, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in No. 201 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at the 249th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
