Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureD+
The Lions let Hadden fall and pounced. Final grade: C+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Legette pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They jumped the gun on Xavier Legette, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in the 162nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Good price on Ryan Flournoy in pick 201, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They robbed the room for Kamal Hadden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at pick No. 226 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
A safety of that caliber at pick 249 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
