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

The Lions treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 222 on Eric Gentry a full 56 spots early. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Dixon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick No. 17 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at pick 50 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in the 118th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Nothing to complain about; Tanner Koziol went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
No edge and no loss on Bud Clark in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Thaddeus Dixon at the 203rd pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
A big swing on Keyron Crawford at the 212th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 222 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
