Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD+
Larceny in Round 4, Pick 22 lands the Lions a D, Kinchens and all.

The phones were a trap the Lions kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Worthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Kinchens value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 29 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reach for Xavier Worthy in No. 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 68 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the 75th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeWayne Carter. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at pick No. 122 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A clean, defensible pick in the 164th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jaylin Simpson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
The board fumbled Garret Greenfield all the way to slot 249, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
