Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Lions never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In pick 17 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Addison Nichols
Addison Nichols in the 50th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at No. 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kyle Altuner
They paid sticker price for Kyle Altuner in Round 5, Pick 17, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
No drama and no debate, Drayk Bowen went about where he belonged in slot 186. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Smith Snowden
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Smith Snowden. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joenel Aguero
Joenel Aguero in the 212th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
A straight-up fair deal on Shamar Porter at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
