Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and West: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Addison West, the No. 191 name on the board, stolen at pick 228. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Reaching for Grimes left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick No. 32 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Kennard at the 64th pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
They robbed the room for Keon Sabb here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kyren Lacy at the Round 4 slot is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 6, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Addison West
Somehow Addison West was still sitting there in pick 228, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in No. 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
