Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
Grand theft in No. 205: the Lions steal Torrence and grade out a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Lions, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Torrence at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper DeJean in pick No. 29. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A tidy little value on Darius Robinson in the 42nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at slot 60 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at the 80th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeWayne Carter. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A slide stopped in pick No. 164, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in Round 6, Pick 30 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 221st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They took Michael Barrett at par in the 236th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
The board had Dominique Hampton higher than slot 249, and the safety fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
