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

Every other box got a look, but cornerback did not. The Lions will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

They are betting Ivey proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 28th pick they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Ivey. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at No. 102 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
