Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Wallace fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Josh Wallace fell into Round 7, Pick 27. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They took Ruke Orhorhoro at par in No. 61, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy little value on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 163, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 207th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at the 247th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
