Starchychaff DRAFTING FOR THELions

Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Lions did exactly that with Seth Henigan in the 221st pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In slot 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61
Rnd2
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the 61st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at No. 125 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick157
Rnd5
Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at pick No. 157 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd6
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at pick 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at the 189th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211
Rnd7
Armand Membou
A conviction pick on Armand Membou at pick No. 211 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
Value said wait; Oronde Gadsden II in the 218th pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Seth Henigan
They reached into another round for Seth Henigan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
