Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Hadden: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kamal Hadden, the No. 169 name on the board, stolen at the 218th pick. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, with Kool-Aid McKinstry leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry is a better player than pick No. 39 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
The board had Xavier Worthy higher than the 61st pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Fair-plus on Patrick Paul, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 164 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A quiet steal in the 205th overall pick: Trente Jones for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A running back of that caliber at No. 249 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They robbed the room for Caedan Wallace here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
