Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B-.

Every other box got a look, but safety did not. The Lions will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Kneeland proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Watson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 28 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
They paid a round early for Byron Murphy II in slot 60, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 73rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Monheim at the 165th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Value with a capital V on De'Corian Clark in pick 206, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They read the board right and Blake Watson was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 29. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
