Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Princewill Umanmielen; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 51 spots ahead at No. 222.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mills. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 17 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Drew Shelton
They reached into another round for Drew Shelton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 118, where Earl Little Jr. graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
A big swing on Braylan Shelby at the 180th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Nice patience on Aaron Anderson, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 7. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Circle this one: Monroe Mills at the 209th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the 222nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
