Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B.

The Lions bet big and early on Khristian Boyd, 57 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Pritchett pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Fair-plus on Renardo Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen McMillan in pick No. 124. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 130th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 138th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 164 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at the 201st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
A big swing on Trey Taylor at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They went early on JD Bertrand in pick No. 211, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Crum at Round 7, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
