Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

FutureD-
The phones sank the Lions this weekend: D+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Chico Bennett Jr. in the Round 6 slot, a good 248 spots before the room expected him. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Williams. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 14th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Good price on Jared Ivey in the 81st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A reach on Dylan Fairchild in slot 93; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in No. 103, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Nice patience on Savion Williams, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 4. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 109, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jalen McLeod
A big swing on Jalen McLeod at slot 130, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 132nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Davin Vann
Davin Vann in the 153rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A premium they did not need to pay, JJ Pegues a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick173
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nazir Stackhouse well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick177
Rnd6
Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at No. 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Value with a capital V on Jonah Monheim in Round 6, Pick 2, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick193
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 193rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 196th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
Chico Bennett Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chico Bennett Jr. in slot 213, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215
Rnd6
Steven Parker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Steven Parker this early at No. 215. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jasheen Davis. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in pick 228 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in pick No. 244 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257
Rnd7
Stone Handy
They talked themselves into Stone Handy at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
