Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Greenfield. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Garret Greenfield got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at No. 249.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 29th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They read the board right and Edgerrin Cooper was the payoff at pick 61. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A slide stopped in pick No. 164, with Jacob Cowing worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in No. 201 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the 205th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They barely believed it either: Garret Greenfield still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
