Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B. Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watts. They went 1 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A slide stopped in pick 60, with Xavier Watts worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
