Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
Grand theft in pick No. 201: the Lions steal Williams and grade out a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Lions came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Lions paired the rookies with proven help, Bradley Chubb leading the way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at No. 37 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at pick 64, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 105th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They paid sticker price for Dwight McGlothern in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson is a better player than slot 164 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in Round 6, Pick 26 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 205th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
