Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Green: C+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Lions, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The DeAndre Houston-Carson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

If Kamari Lassiter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In slot 29 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 61st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They did well to land Jaheim Bell in pick 144, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in the 163rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Jefferson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick207 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in No. 207 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Taking Jalen Green in slot 247 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
