Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Lions would have aced it. Gabe Vansickle at pick No. 254 is 254 spots clear of where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C+.

Landing Fletcher Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chris Cole
A tidy little value on Chris Cole in the Round 1 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trinidad Chambliss
Somehow Trinidad Chambliss was still sitting there in slot 57, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
The board fumbled Kewan Lacy all the way to Round 3, Pick 26, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. at pick No. 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. at No. 165 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
They talked themselves into Evan Stewart at the 204th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Anthony Donkoh
A wild overpay on Anthony Donkoh in pick 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jimarion McCrimon
A big swing on Jimarion McCrimon at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Gus Hawkins
They reached into another round for Gus Hawkins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Gabe Vansickle
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Vansickle in pick No. 254 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
