Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Henderson should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched TreVeyon Henderson slide 46 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, with Mykel Williams leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 28th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 60 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick 62, and they pounced on premier safety value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at No. 101. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
