Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA
The Lions robbed the room for McCoy. Final grade: A.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Bru McCoy fell into slot 224. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 73 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Layden Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Somehow Christian Jones was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Steal is underselling it; Bru McCoy at pick 224 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Arik Gilbert
The board had cheaper options than Arik Gilbert at the 251st pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
