Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Jordan should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jawhar Jordan, the 247th pick, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged.

Every board in the league had Bortolini lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 29 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in No. 61, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick No. 73 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in slot 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 163rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 247th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
