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

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Anthony Hill Jr., the No. 38 name on the board, in the Round 2 slot.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at slot 50, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the 58th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Good price on Joe Royer in Round 4, Pick 18, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
