Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B-.

The tape said wait; the Lions did not. Ahmed Hassanein went at slot 196, a good 50 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In pick 28 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in slot 60 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in the 102nd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 130th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at Round 6, Pick 20 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in pick No. 228 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached a country mile for Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 244, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
