FutureC-
The Lions let Styles fall into their laps, and walked away with a C. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Sonny Styles, the No. 41 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 6, Pick 18. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In the 32nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. at slot 39 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Harold Fannin Jr. in the 40th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193
Rnd6
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 193 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at pick 229 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 7, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
