Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Lions torched the value chart for Kamran James, taking him 39 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Landing Ioane that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Olaivavega Ioane at the 50th pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
They liked Jakobe Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 18. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A reach on Pat Coogan in No. 155; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
A wild overpay on Daevin Hobbs in slot 186, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
A reach for Lawson Luckie in the 203rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
They did well to land Peyton Bowen in the 212th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kamran James
Kamran James at slot 222 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
