Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named offensive lineman, a need the Lions walked right past. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That Trotter Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in slot 61 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is a better player than the 73rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They did well to land Michael Hall Jr. in the 92nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A tidy little value on Keith Randolph Jr. in No. 163, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick 207 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zakhari Franklin at Round 7, Pick 27. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
