Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Lions.

The Lions' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Love at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
A tidy bit of business in the 17th pick, where Jeremiyah Love graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
By-the-book stuff, Jake Slaughter at pick 50 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
The board had Xavier Scott higher than No. 118, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
No edge and no loss on Aamil Wagner in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at slot 186 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A straight-up fair deal on De'Zhaun Stribling at Round 6, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Brett Norfleet
No drama and no debate, Brett Norfleet went about where he belonged in the 212th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
Ahmaad Moses at pick No. 222 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
