Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent the 243rd pick on Troy Omeire, a name most had 21 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Randolph Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Josh Newton
A tidy little value on Josh Newton in pick No. 62, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Ruke Orhorhoro. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the 97th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 122nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Nice patience on Keith Randolph Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 167. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley slipping to Round 6, Pick 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Blake Watson
They paid sticker price for Blake Watson in pick 220, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Troy Omeire
This one needs a full-page explanation: Troy Omeire in the 243rd pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at Round 7, Pick 24 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at No. 251 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
