Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Sammy Brown pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 40 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Sammy Brown
Sammy Brown at the 50th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
