Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureF
The Lions land in the muddy middle: C.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Lions did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most.

Every board in the league had Fano lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick No. 4 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A tidy little value on Caleb Banks in slot 50, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 186th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
By-the-book stuff, Joey Aguilar at No. 222 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
