Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Charles Turner III, 65 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 43 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
The board had Javon Bullard higher than pick No. 73, and the safety fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Fair-plus on Gabriel Murphy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is a better player than the 99th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 DJ James
They took DJ James at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in No. 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 197th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They talked themselves into Trevor Keegan at pick No. 207, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Turner III. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at the 247th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
