Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
D-
ValueC

FutureB
The Lions bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The Lions bet big and early on Tyrice Knight, 45 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
In pick No. 31 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
No edge and no loss on Marshawn Kneeland in the 82nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A reach for McKinnley Jackson in slot 113; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick204
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick 204 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
A straight-up fair deal on Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 205, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in Round 6, Pick 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
