Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Reese: B+.

Call it larceny. Arvell Reese sat on the board until pick 50, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in No. 50 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 4, Pick 18 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A conviction pick on Pat Coogan at the 155th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dijon Johnson
They talked themselves into Dijon Johnson at slot 203, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at the 222nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
