Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B.

There is reaching, and then there is David Ugwoegbu at the Round 7 slot. The Lions jumped the board by 79 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Cooper at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 29th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at Round 3, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Fair-plus on Sione Vaki, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A reach for Logan Lee in slot 201; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wiley at No. 205, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
A wild overpay on David Ugwoegbu in the 252nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
