Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureD
The Lions let Harden fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Lions came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Harden where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 21 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 29 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 61st overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They did well to land Xavier Legette in pick No. 80, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Nice patience on Roger Rosengarten, who had no business lasting to the 157th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Somehow Myles Harden was still sitting there in the 207th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brevyn Spann-Ford in No. 247. The roster fit checks out.
