Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Lions.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Lions reached some 100 spots for Eric Gentry, and value like that does not grow back.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Monroe Freeling. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at slot 50 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
A reach for Hezekiah Masses in No. 118; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
No drama and no debate, Sam Roush went about where he belonged in the 155th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
They paid up for Bud Clark at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at pick No. 203 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
They reached a country mile for Eric Gentry at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keyron Crawford in slot 222, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
