Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureC+
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Lions.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Lions took Michael Wiley a full 47 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thrash. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy little value on Brian Thomas Jr. in the 35th pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Somehow Xavier Legette was still sitting there in slot 56, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 65th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They reached into another round for Jordan Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They read the board right and Christian Jones was the payoff at slot 145. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 28 with a little surplus value in Sione Vaki. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the 166th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
You do not let a wide receiver like Jamari Thrash reach No. 173 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Isaiah Adams in the 174th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
Michael Wiley at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
