Draft Grade — Lions

The jury is out on the Lions. For now, C.

The Lions did not so much draft Monroe Freeling as overpay for him, 91 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 17 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in pick 50 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
A conviction pick on Jakobe Thomas at slot 118 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
A big swing on Eric Gentry at Round 6, Pick 7, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
They talked themselves into Keyron Crawford at the 203rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Catalon in slot 212, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
A real head-scratcher, Gabriel Rubio in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
