Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- 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.
