Draft Grade — Lions

Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 12: the Lions steal Spears-Jennings and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Robert Spears-Jennings got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 228. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In No. 28 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to pick 60, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 131st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ricky White III
The board had Ricky White III higher than the 194th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Nice patience on Clay Webb, who had no business lasting to pick No. 225. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Somehow Robert Spears-Jennings was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 12, and they pounced on premier safety value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in slot 244, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
