Larceny in Round 7, Pick 40 lands the Lions a C+, Mullings and all. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kalel Mullings, the No. 107 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 256. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
The Webb pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.
Hit on Mason Graham and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In pick 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
Will Johnson
Somehow Will Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in No. 86 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tory Horton
Circle this one: Tory Horton at the 174th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Simeon Barrow Jr.
Fair-plus on Simeon Barrow Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick182
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 182nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick201
Rnd6
Phillip Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Phillip Webb. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Seth McLaughlin. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in slot 243, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kalel Mullings
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 256 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
