Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Lions won the night they stopped Hardy from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Daequan Hardy tumbling to the Lions in pick No. 236 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They are betting Beebe proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 17 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 61st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at Round 4, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick 152 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brennan Jackson at pick No. 163. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in the 225th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
The board fumbled Daequan Hardy all the way to slot 236, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at Round 7, Pick 29 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Sheridan Jones reach slot 253 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
