Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Lions shredded theirs for Malachi Nelson. He came off 95 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lee. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the 17th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen at Round 2, Pick 18 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Edwin Spillman
They talked themselves into Edwin Spillman at pick No. 118, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Malachi Nelson
Malachi Nelson in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aaron Flowers
A safety of that caliber at slot 186 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green at the 203rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
They robbed the room for Kayin Lee here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
They reached a country mile for Rueben Owens II at Round 7, Pick 6, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
