Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B. Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Reaching for Ratledge left real value on the table behind him. On the needs board they went 2 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They jumped the gun on Tate Ratledge, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
