Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in pick 91: the Lions steal Coleman and grade out a A-.

Call it larceny. Keon Coleman sat on the board until pick No. 91, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The cost of the Lee reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, with Ennis Rakestraw Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 23, with Ennis Rakestraw Jr. worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick No. 72 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
They barely believed it either: Keon Coleman still on the board at No. 91. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dominick Puni in pick 120, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 157th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Logan Lee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Lee. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Owens in the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Taking Nathan Thomas in the 247th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
