Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC-
The Lions robbed the room for Williams. Final grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Lions fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in No. 61 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A slide stopped in the 163rd overall pick, with Malik Mustapha worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in pick 193, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
The board fumbled Isaiah Williams all the way to slot 207, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They paid a round early for LaDarius Henderson in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in Round 7, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
