Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Everything else got attention, and linebacker got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Landing Simpson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 29th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in the 61st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in No. 73, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in Round 3, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at pick 166. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Williams in slot 207. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
