Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Keegan from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Trevor Keegan sat on the board until pick 201, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
A tidy little value on Chop Robinson in pick No. 29, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at No. 61 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Kiran Amegadjie for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick 164 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Somehow Trevor Keegan was still sitting there in the 201st overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Myles Harden
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
They barely believed it either: Darius Muasau still on the board at the 249th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
