Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

There is a lot to like until you notice offensive lineman is still a hole. The Lions never got to the one that mattered most. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Corleone to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Hood reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 1 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the 17th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Value with a capital V on Dontay Corleone in pick No. 50, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
