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

You could see the war room lean forward. LaDarius Henderson at slot 207 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Fiske to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 29th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 61st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They paid up for Braden Fiske at slot 73 when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Josh Newton
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 29, with Josh Newton worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 166 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
The board fumbled LaDarius Henderson all the way to pick No. 207, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
By-the-book stuff, Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
