Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA TradesB FutureB
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it.

The Mohamed Kamara selection is the head-turner. The Lions reached 48 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

The Mike Harley Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 29 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick73 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 73 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the 85th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
