Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Roman Hemby at Round 6, Pick 33 will need to, sitting 57 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In pick No. 17 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
No edge and no loss on Gennings Dunker in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kevin Coleman Jr. at the 118th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A reach for Oscar Delp in slot 155; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
They did well to land Bud Clark in pick 186, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at the 203rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at No. 212 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
They paid up for Ricardo Hallman at slot 222 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
