Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for McCoy. Final grade: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Lions should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

McCoy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 30 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Value with a capital V on Tyler Guyton in pick 62, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 3, Pick 9 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Good price on Layden Robinson in the 167th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Somehow Bru McCoy was still sitting there in the 208th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Antwaun Powell-Ryland. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
