Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did enough to get by: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Kamran James; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 83 spots ahead at pick No. 205. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

If Suntarine Perkins and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In pick 27 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Sam Leavitt
They barely believed it either: Sam Leavitt still on the board at Round 2, Pick 27. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A big swing on Pat Coogan at the 166th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack in the 188th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kamran James
They reached into another round for Kamran James, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
Ethan Onianwa in the 240th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
They talked themselves into Korey Foreman at Round 7, Pick 39, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
