Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Coleman: C-.

Call it larceny. Keon Coleman sat on the board until the Round 3 slot, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice.

The All reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Hit on Cooper DeJean and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 61st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They robbed the room for T.J. Tampa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 J.J. McCarthy
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 72 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 96th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at slot 106, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Taking Khyree Jackson in No. 112 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 4, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Erick All
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Erick All well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 247th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
