Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C-
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did enough to get by: C-.

Nobody had Jerry Wilson this high, and it is not close. The Lions reached 192 spots to get him at No. 17. Call it a C- and check back in two years.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jerry Wilson
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a lockdown presence outside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Isaac Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Smith this early at pick 50. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
The board had Mikail Kamara higher than slot 118, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A premium they did not need to pay, Earnest Greene III a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Preston Stone
They reached into another round for Preston Stone, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Preston Hodge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Preston Hodge. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at the 222nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons at No. 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Hall at slot 253. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
