Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Keegan. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Trevor Keegan tumbling to the Lions in No. 201 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in No. 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 61 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 DJ James
They barely believed it either: DJ James still on the board at the 73rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 164th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They took Ryan Flournoy at par in pick 205, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at slot 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
