Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B.

Some picks age like wine; Andrew Raym at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Coleman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A clean, defensible pick in the 61st overall pick with a little surplus value in T.J. Tampa. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 73 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Beau Brade
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Brade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They reached into another round for Evan Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Raym well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
