Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Lions to a D-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Lions would have aced it. Kyle Louis at pick 118 is 51 spots clear of where he belonged. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Haulcy. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
They will replay Arvell Reese at pick No. 33 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They paid sticker price for Trevor Goosby in pick 50, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young at No. 60 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Good price on Malachi Fields in slot 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
They reached into another round for Michael Trigg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to No. 101, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They talked themselves into Kyle Louis at pick 118, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
They took Jadarian Price at par in the 136th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They jumped the gun on Aaron Anderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
