Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Sabb: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keon Sabb, the No. 107 name on the board, stolen at the 222nd overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Burks pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick129 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They paid sticker price for Rylie Mills in pick No. 129, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in No. 222 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at pick 229. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Deion Burks
They talked themselves into Deion Burks at the 235th pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at Round 7, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
