Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureA+
The Lions lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story. The Lions torched the value chart for Braelon Allen, taking him 36 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Fisher steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in the 12th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick23
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A tidy little value on Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick No. 23, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinyon Mitchell in slot 35. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for T'Vondre Sweat. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 3, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in No. 92, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at slot 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in the 123rd overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Somehow Blake Fisher was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick No. 161 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163
Rnd5
McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at the 163rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 245 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
