Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Keegan from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Trevor Keegan got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick 201.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin slid further than he should have, and No. 54 is lovely value for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in slot 73, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They will replay Trevor Keegan at pick 201 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Taking Jordan Magee in the 205th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 KT Leveston
The board fumbled KT Leveston all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
