Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
Devonshire should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: M.J. Devonshire, the No. 191 name on the board, stolen at No. 249. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 29 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Taking Edgerrin Cooper in Round 3, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Circle this one: Adisa Isaac at pick 73 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in pick No. 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in No. 164 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 201st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick249 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
The board fumbled M.J. Devonshire all the way to the 249th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
