Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THELions
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B

NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it. Some picks age like wine; Vincent Anthony Jr. at No. 134 will need to, sitting 59 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
A.J. Harris
In the 24th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55
Rnd2
Trevor Goosby
No edge and no loss on Trevor Goosby in pick 55; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Value with a capital V on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 121, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached into another round for Vincent Anthony Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164
Rnd5
Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison at pick No. 164 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in the 198th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218
Rnd7
Cam Calhoun
Cam Calhoun in slot 218 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
