Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB
A franchise passer in Nix headlines a D weekend for the Lions.

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

Everything downstream of Bo Nix depends on Bo Nix, and the building knows it. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Spending an early pick on interior defensive lineman with offensive lineman, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will need Fiske to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Pritchett falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 11 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Bo Nix
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bo Nix in the 29th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Nothing to complain about; Chris Braswell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went interior defensive lineman with Braden Fiske while clear needs at offensive lineman, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in the 92nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They did well to land Malik Washington in Round 4, Pick 23, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nehemiah Pritchett at pick 163 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
