Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Lions. For now, C+.

The Lions torched the value chart for Gabriel Rubio, taking him 72 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Monroe Freeling that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
This one needs a full-page explanation: Monroe Freeling in the Round 1 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
A conviction pick on Akheem Mesidor at the 50th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Louis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bud Clark
A big swing on Bud Clark at slot 155, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at pick No. 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 6, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Will Kacmarek
A real head-scratcher, Will Kacmarek in Round 6, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
Gabriel Rubio at slot 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
