Draft Grade — Lions
Overall F
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD+
Knox should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a F.

Somebody took the Lions to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Knox. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left safety open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 28th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Legette went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at the 61st pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 28, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 164th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jacob Cowing in Round 5, Pick 33, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Justin Rogers at slot 205. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trey Knox
You do not let a tight end like Trey Knox reach the 249th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
