Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedC+ TradesA- FutureC
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B- to prove it.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in A'Marion Peterson, taking him 113 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Getting Alexander where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Lions paired the rookies with proven help, Kenneth Grant leading the way. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kelley Jones
In the 22nd pick they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Teitum Tuioti
A big swing on Teitum Tuioti at the 57th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kingston Lopa
Kingston Lopa in slot 85 is fair value, right on his grade. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ty Benefield
The board fumbled Ty Benefield all the way to No. 86, and they scooped it up. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick101 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
They robbed the room for Bear Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd3 Kameryn Crawford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kameryn Crawford this early at Round 3, Pick 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke Montgomery
Somehow Luke Montgomery was still sitting there in the 127th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Brandon Baker
Brandon Baker in No. 135 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.
Pick165 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 165 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick176 Rnd5 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea at Round 5, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick179 Rnd5 Audavion Collins
Audavion Collins at slot 179 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick213 Rnd6 Michael Kilbane
A wild overpay on Michael Kilbane in pick No. 213, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Robert Fitzgerald
No drama and no debate, Robert Fitzgerald went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dylan Raiola
Value said wait; Dylan Raiola in the 219th pick says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson at the 238th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Collin Dixon
A tidy bit of business in slot 247, where Collin Dixon graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
