Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedC TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Lions started one anyway for D'Antre Robinson, 85 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Fitzgerald at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with wide receiver open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kelley Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kelley Jones at cornerback with wide receiver open.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tae Johnson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tae Johnson adds a safety and leaves wide receiver untouched.
Pick90 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola at No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd3 Xavier Atkins
Xavier Atkins at pick No. 101 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102 Rnd3 Anto Saka
Value said wait; Anto Saka in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sahir West
A curious use of the 127th overall pick. Wide receiver needed the pick; an interior defensive lineman in Sahir West did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kameryn Crawford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kameryn Crawford in pick 129, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ian Moore
Ian Moore at slot 130 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Robert Fitzgerald
Robert Fitzgerald in the 174th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dylan Raiola
Dylan Raiola at pick No. 201 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
The board had Kayin Lee higher than Round 6, Pick 25, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick206 Rnd6 Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green in No. 206 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
They reached a country mile for Andrew Rappleyea at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jake Guarnera
A conviction pick on Jake Guarnera at the 216th overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd6 D'Antre Robinson
D'Antre Robinson at pick No. 218 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb in Round 6, Pick 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
