Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Edwards: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Edwards tumbling to the Lions in No. 246 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Every board in the league had Frazier lower, and that gap is the story. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 28th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in Round 2, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid sticker price for Jake Majors in No. 101, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 133 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kyle Williams in pick 227, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams in slot 230 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at the 246th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
