Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Bullard from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Javon Bullard sat on the board until the Round 3 slot, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Ogunbiyi has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at Round 1, Pick 30 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
You do not let a safety like Javon Bullard reach the 93rd pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at pick No. 167 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and De'Corian Clark at the 208th overall pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in slot 251 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
