Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 201st pick: the Lions steal McGlothern and grade out a B+.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 26 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 61st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 115th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A tidy little value on Tykee Smith in Round 5, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in slot 201 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 205, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in No. 249, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
