Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B

More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bishop Fitzgerald, the No. 116 name on the board, in pick 155. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Shelby lower, and that gap is the story. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 17th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in slot 50 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They paid a round early for Charles Jagusah in pick 118, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bishop Fitzgerald
They barely believed it either: Bishop Fitzgerald still on the board at Round 5, Pick 17. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Fair-plus on Kevin Coleman Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at slot 188 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in the 209th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at the 222nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
