The Lions let McCord fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Thirty-one other rooms let Kyle McCord slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 16. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. If Tuimoloau pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A premium they did not need to pay, JT Tuimoloau a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 60th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
They read the board right and Barrett Carter was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 37 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at slot 133 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194
Rnd6
Kyle McCord
They barely believed it either: Kyle McCord still on the board at pick No. 194. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the 198th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227
Rnd7
Cobee Bryant
Circle this one: Cobee Bryant at pick 227 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Steal is underselling it; KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the 230th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Logan Parr
The board had cheaper options than Logan Parr at the 246th pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
