Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Knight Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Demetrius Knight Jr., the No. 60 name on the board, sitting there at the 228th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Taking Kenneth Grant in the 102nd pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick130 Rnd4 Armand Membou
You do not let an offensive lineman like Armand Membou reach pick No. 130 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at the 196th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 228 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at Round 7, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
