Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B.

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Quinyon Mitchell in Round 1, Pick 29, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 61st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 73rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
