Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
Larceny in slot 205 lands the Lions a B, Hadden and all.

Call it larceny. Kamal Hadden sat on the board until the 205th overall pick, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Lions clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 29 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Nice patience on Xavier Legette, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James slipping to Round 3, Pick 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at pick 121, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in No. 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A slide stopped in the 164th pick, with Xavier Thomas worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Eric Watts
No drama and no debate, Eric Watts went about where he belonged in the 201st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 205th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Cooper Jr. at No. 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
