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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Mark Perry, 27 picks early at No. 208.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That Verse pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Josh Newton
A tidy little value on Josh Newton in slot 62, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at pick 73 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roman Wilson at the 93rd pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
No drama and no debate, Roger Rosengarten went about where he belonged in pick No. 167. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Mark Perry
They reached a country mile for Mark Perry at No. 208, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 251 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
