Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Lions walked out of the weekend still thin at offensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Eboigbe proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Rice steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 30 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
No drama and no debate, Jermaine Burton went about where he belonged in pick No. 62. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 73 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board had Brenden Rice higher than the 93rd overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett in Round 6, Pick 33 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Value with a capital V on Ja'Had Carter in slot 251, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
