Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions let Clark fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let De'Corian Clark slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at pick 247. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Adding Matthew Judon by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 34 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 61 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 9, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
No drama and no debate, Tyler Davis went about where he belonged in slot 92. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Renardo Green
They let Renardo Green come to them and pounced at the 163rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in No. 207, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Circle this one: De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
