Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Everette from sliding. Grade: C.

Call it larceny. Daylen Everette sat on the board until pick No. 209, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice.

They will need Chaplin to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Xavier Chaplin
In the 17th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Julian Neal
They left a pile of value on the table to take Julian Neal this early at pick 49. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. in pick No. 117 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
They barely believed it either: Malachi Fields still on the board at slot 135. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in the 156th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at Round 6, Pick 6 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Daylen Everette
Taking Daylen Everette in No. 209 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They jumped the gun on Pat Coogan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
