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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mohamed Kamara at pick 91, a reach of 35 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Newton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 73 is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They barely believed it either: Josh Newton still on the board at the 77th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in No. 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A reach on Layden Robinson in pick No. 150; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
No drama and no debate, Jonah Monheim went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Phil Jurkovec
They reached a country mile for Phil Jurkovec at No. 206, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in the 249th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
