Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in Eric Gentry, taking him 56 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 18th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They jumped the gun on Akheem Mesidor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
They paid sticker price for Sam Hecht in the 82nd pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Louis this early at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at No. 155 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A tidy little value on Thaddeus Dixon in slot 186, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keyron Crawford well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at pick No. 212, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
A big swing on Will Kacmarek at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
