Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA
TradesB-
FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Lions did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
They took Avieon Terrell at par in the 17th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They did well to land Jake Slaughter in pick 50, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
