Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

The Lions' one glaring miss is offensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The McDonald reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 17 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Nothing to complain about; Brandon Cisse went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
