Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Lions looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kalil Alexander at Round 6, Pick 7 regardless, 33 picks early.

Stroman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. 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 Mansoor Delane
In No. 17 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Austin Barber
Austin Barber at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at pick 118 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
They let Jalen Stroman come to them and pounced at the 155th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kalil Alexander. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They paid sticker price for Barion Brown in the 203rd pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Luke Altmyer
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Altmyer at No. 212 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in pick No. 222 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
