Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesF FutureC+
The Lions won the night they stopped Worthy from sliding. Grade: C+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Lions, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

That Worthy pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cost of the Gore Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Laiatu Latu and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
A quiet steal in the 18th overall pick: Laiatu Latu for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in the 38th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Worthy in pick No. 73, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in slot 154 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in No. 155 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick slipping to pick 157 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid a round early for Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 209, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
