Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Lions this weekend: C.

The Lions bet big and early on Kamran James, 88 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Lew pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Hit on Arvell Reese and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They did well to land Emmanuel Pregnon in the 50th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick No. 86 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at pick 118 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 34 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A tidy bit of business in slot 156, where Max Iheanachor graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kamran James
They reached into another round for Kamran James, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
You do not let a quarterback like Luke Altmyer reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
