Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Karsen Barnhart, 80 picks early at pick No. 250. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kinchens.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell is a better player than Round 1, Pick 29 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 62 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in pick No. 73, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Steal is underselling it; Kamren Kinchens at the 92nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They talked themselves into Jordan Jefferson at the 163rd pick, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A reach on Jaylen Harrell in slot 204; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
They paid up for Marcellas Dial at Round 7, Pick 29 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 Karsen Barnhart
Karsen Barnhart at slot 250 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
