Draft Grade — Lions

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jared Wilson; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 42 spots ahead at the Round 2 slot.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the 28th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jared Wilson
They reached a country mile for Jared Wilson at the 60th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
