BDizzy DRAFTING FOR THELions

Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

TradesB-
FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Lions' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They are betting Driskell proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fiske. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 29 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske is a better player than Round 2, Pick 29 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 73rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
No drama and no debate, Ryan Flournoy went about where he belonged in the 205th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in No. 249 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
