Draft Grade — Lions

ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Styles fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Sonny Styles slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 25. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 David Bailey
David Bailey in slot 50 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Taking Mansoor Delane in pick 118 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at pick No. 135 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 157 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Logan Jones
The board fumbled Logan Jones all the way to the 184th pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at the 205th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
