Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Speights. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Omar Speights at Round 7, Pick 31 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had McGlothern lower, and that gap is the story.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick 30 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A slide stopped in pick No. 62, with Jonah Elliss worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in the 73rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 93rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington slid further than he should have, and No. 167 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at slot 251 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
