Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Lions shredded theirs for Isaac Guerendo. He came off 48 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Pritchett pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 29th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at pick 73 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in No. 92 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 163 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
