Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD- FutureB-
The phones sank the Lions this weekend: C+.

The Lions lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Orhorhoro at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Hit on Chop Robinson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 29th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 61 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at pick 73 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had Ruke Orhorhoro higher than pick No. 83, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 5, Pick 17 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 163 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Omar Brown
A clean, defensible pick in the 207th pick with a little surplus value in Omar Brown. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Nothing to complain about; Blake Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
