Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Cooper: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyler Cooper got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at slot 228. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 28 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
The board had Marcus Mbow higher than the Round 2 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in the 102nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
A tidy bit of business in No. 130, where Jaylin Lane graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Circle this one: Kyle Williams at pick No. 196 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at slot 228 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in the 244th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
