Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Lions would have aced it. Vincent Anthony Jr. at No. 160 is 25 spots clear of where he belonged.

Landing Slaughter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 LT Overton
In the 23rd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick 54 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deion Burks in No. 120. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They reached a country mile for Vincent Anthony Jr. at Round 5, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Calhoun. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
A reach for Roderick Kearney in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Khalil Barnes
Khalil Barnes at the 223rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
