Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Lions: C.

The Lions did not so much draft Myles Hinton as overpay for him, 116 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a C and check back in two years.

Barham at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In pick 32 they get a seam-stretching tight end, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Rod Moore
A big swing on Rod Moore at Round 2, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Value said wait; Donovan Edwards in pick No. 131 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
You do not let a running back like Kalel Mullings reach No. 133 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Makari Paige
A real head-scratcher, Makari Paige in the 195th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Myles Hinton
Myles Hinton at the 228th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
The board fumbled Jaishawn Barham all the way to No. 248, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
