Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
Larceny in No. 82 lands the Lions a B, Lee III and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Will Lee III got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at the Round 3 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A tidy little value on Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 17, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at pick 50 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Will Lee III
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Will Lee III in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in slot 118 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Nothing to complain about; Sam Roush went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nadame Tucker in the 161st overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at pick No. 162 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Nwokobia in No. 186, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
No edge and no loss on Joey Aguilar in No. 222; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
Rueben Owens II at slot 240 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
