Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Hadden should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kamal Hadden had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 29 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They let T.J. Tampa come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes is a better player than slot 73 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Value with a capital V on Khyree Jackson in No. 92, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tykee Smith in Round 5, Pick 27. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 204 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tayvion Robinson at the 249th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
