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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Lions shredded theirs for Joe Milton III. He came off 36 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harden.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 29 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at Round 3, Pick 2 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 90th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in Round 4, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick164 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in slot 164 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 201 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones is a better player than pick 205 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Keith Randolph Jr.
They let Keith Randolph Jr. come to them and pounced at the 226th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
