Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Collin Oliver; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 77 spots ahead at No. 246. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
They took Nic Scourton at par in the 28th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at pick 60 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 101 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They robbed the room for Nohl Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in slot 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks at the 230th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Value said wait; Collin Oliver in slot 246 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
