Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Lions: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Eric Gentry at the 186th pick. The Lions jumped the board by 83 and dared it to prove them wrong. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In the 17th pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in slot 50 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle Louis well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Gentry this early at pick No. 186. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek at the 203rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon in pick 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
Gabriel Rubio at Round 7, Pick 6 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
