Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureC
The Lions won the night they stopped Hart from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Cam Hart, the No. 137 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 166th overall pick.

They are betting Keegan proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 55 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They will replay Cam Hart at the 166th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevor Keegan this early at Round 6, Pick 32. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board had Joshua Cephus higher than pick 250, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
