Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Lions walked right past. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Burden III falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
