Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB+ FutureC+
Larceny in No. 247 lands the Lions a B, Williams and all.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Isaiah Williams fell into the Round 7 slot.

The Beebe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 19 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at No. 61 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 92nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Williams reach pick No. 247 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
