Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B.

The Lions spent real capital to be 41 picks early on Anthony Lucas, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Altmyer pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
They reached a country mile for Anthony Lucas at the 50th overall pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in Round 4, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister is a better player than No. 186 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at slot 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan White
A conviction pick on Jordan White at No. 212 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at the 222nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
