Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Bech from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jack Bech, the No. 67 name on the board, in the Round 4 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They are betting Rucker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Bradyn Swinson
In the 28th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They liked Cameron Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 60. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Steal is underselling it; Jack Bech at pick 130 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick196 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A slide stopped in pick No. 196, with JJ Pegues worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Vinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to Round 7, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
