Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: B.

Nobody else had Dylan McMahon anywhere near Round 6, Pick 32. The Lions did, by 36 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 29 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 61st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in slot 92 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They jumped the gun on Jordan Jefferson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dylan McMahon. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
