Draft Grade — Lions

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

The Austin Barber selection is the head-turner. The Lions reached 32 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Getting Moss where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Austin Barber
Austin Barber in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald at No. 118 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
They paid up for Kobe Baynes at pick No. 155 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at the 186th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nolan Rucci
They paid sticker price for Nolan Rucci in pick 203, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at Round 6, Pick 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
They went early on Jacobe Johnson in the 222nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
