Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA FutureB
The Lions let Logan Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Somebody in slot 247 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Kenny Logan Jr., the No. 226 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Rosengarten reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick 32 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 29 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in the 73rd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 133rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 163 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at slot 207 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at No. 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
