Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Lions did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to offensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The McKinstry value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 27 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Good price on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 59th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
