Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Grand theft in pick 82: the Lions steal Thieneman and grade out a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Dillon Thieneman, the No. 35 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 82. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In slot 18 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
No drama and no debate, Lee Hunter went about where he belonged in the 59th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
The board had Jake Slaughter higher than the 60th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
They barely believed it either: Dillon Thieneman still on the board at Round 3, Pick 18. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Value with a capital V on Brian Parker II in No. 83, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Carson Beck
Taking Carson Beck in pick No. 106 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 108 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Fair-plus on Josh Moten, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
The board fumbled Trey Zuhn III all the way to pick 222, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
