Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Brownlee Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jarvis Brownlee Jr. slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at slot 201. Highway robbery.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Cephus reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 29 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Somehow Marvin Harrison Jr. was still sitting there in the 61st pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kingsley Suamataia at the 73rd overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Leonard Taylor III
They barely believed it either: Leonard Taylor III still on the board at pick 164. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 201 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at slot 205 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in Round 7, Pick 29 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
