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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: TreVeyon Henderson, pick 96, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 28th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in slot 60 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at pick No. 79 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at pick 96 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
