Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureB
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Lions ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Newton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The cost of the Murphy reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
They took Adisa Isaac at par in the 60th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
Josh Newton
A quiet steal in No. 96: Josh Newton for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in pick No. 130, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They paid up for Grayson Murphy at pick 155 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207
Rnd6
Erick All
A reach for Erick All in slot 207; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at Round 7, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
