Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Lions let Marks fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Woody Marks, the No. 186 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 33 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Mills pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, edge rusher and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 31 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in slot 67 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 30 on Rylie Mills with cornerback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ricky White III
No edge and no loss on Ricky White III in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They will replay Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 224 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at pick 247 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
