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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Lions walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick 73 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marist Liufau in pick No. 92. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
Nothing to complain about; LaDarius Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the 207th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
