Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Lions ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A tidy bit of business in No. 55, where Kamari Lassiter graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
The board had Kamren Kinchens higher than Round 3, Pick 9, and the safety fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A tidy little value on Caelen Carson in pick No. 92, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in the 207th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Nice patience on Trey Knox, who had no business lasting to pick No. 247. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
