Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 73: the Lions steal Mims and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Amarius Mims got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick 73. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Green has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the 30th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in the 62nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in No. 73 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 93 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at pick 167 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
They went early on Isaiah Neyor in Round 6, Pick 33, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
No edge and no loss on Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
