Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Lions get a C+.

The Eric Gentry pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 100 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Monroe Freeling that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
They reached a country mile for Monroe Freeling at the Round 1 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in No. 50 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Louis in the 118th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at slot 155 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A premium they did not need to pay, Bud Clark a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Thaddeus Dixon. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Value said wait; Eric Gentry in Round 6, Pick 33 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford in No. 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
