Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA FutureC+
The Lions won the night they stopped Worthy from sliding. Grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Xavier Worthy sat on the board until slot 92, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Lovett reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 31 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They read the board right and Brian Thomas Jr. was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
The board fumbled Jordan Morgan all the way to pick No. 61, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 92nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Somehow Kris Abrams-Draine was still sitting there in slot 105, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
They paid a round early for Fabien Lovett in the 132nd pick, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in Round 5, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau slipping to pick 163 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
A clean, defensible pick in slot 207 with a little surplus value in Nick Gargiulo. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Circle this one: Frank Gore Jr. at the 247th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
