Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB NeedA- TradesD- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Harden: C+.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 18 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Myles Harden, the No. 209 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

If Troy Fautanu and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A slide stopped in slot 61, with Chris Braswell worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A clean, defensible pick in pick 164 with a little surplus value in Sione Vaki. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Myles Harden
The board fumbled Myles Harden all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
