Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Lions fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McKinstry.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 28th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 60 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Layden Robinson in pick 165. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They let Nathaniel Watson come to them and pounced at the 240th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Aaron Frost at pick No. 249 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
