Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Lions walked right past.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Delane. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Slaughter at the 50th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A clean, defensible pick in slot 118 with a little surplus value in Chase Bisontis. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sam Roush in the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Nwokobia. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at the 203rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They did well to land Barion Brown in pick 212, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
Fair-plus on Isaac Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
