Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
A tidy little value on Kadyn Proctor in slot 17, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A clean, defensible pick in the 50th pick with a little surplus value in D'Angelo Ponds. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
