Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
The Lions did enough to get by: C.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent pick No. 33 on Cooper Beebe, a name most had 42 spots down the list. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

So much rides on Jackson Powers-Johnson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 29 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in the 33rd pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 2, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
