Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Every other box got a look, but cornerback did not. The Lions will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Pearce Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
