Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in Austin Barber, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That McCoy pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Austin Barber
They talked themselves into Austin Barber at No. 50, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 118th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
