Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Roman Wilson tumbling to the Lions in No. 73 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slid further than he should have, and pick No. 61 is lovely value for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They barely believed it either: Roman Wilson still on the board at slot 73. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Steal is underselling it; Mike Sainristil at pick 92 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Keegan at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Khristian Boyd in Round 6, Pick 32, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They paid sticker price for LaDarius Henderson in the 247th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
