Draft Grade — Lions

Good, not great, for the Lions: B-. There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Lions never got to the one that mattered most.
They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 17th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Tyreak Sapp
They paid sticker price for Tyreak Sapp in Round 2, Pick 18, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
