Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent slot 223 on Jontrey Hunter, a name most had 52 spots down the list. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That Hart pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 21 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 66 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They reached a country mile for Khyree Jackson at No. 93, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
They went early on Tyler Guyton in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bru McCoy
They paid a round early for Bru McCoy in the 167th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Hart
The board fumbled Cam Hart all the way to No. 198, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
They paid up for Caden Prieskorn at pick 208 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jontrey Hunter in the 223rd overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 251st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
