Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Lions did not so much draft De'Corian Clark as overpay for him, 36 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No drama and no debate, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. went about where he belonged in the 37th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at No. 61, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in pick 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the 92nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A reach on Roger Rosengarten in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 176 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Magee at No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in slot 247 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
