Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Gabriel Rubio, 84 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Delp.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 17 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the 50th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
The board had cheaper options than Hezekiah Masses at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nolan Rucci
A real head-scratcher, Nolan Rucci in slot 155 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 186, where Oscar Delp graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
A big swing on Keyron Crawford at pick 203, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 212 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
Value said wait; Gabriel Rubio in Round 7, Pick 6 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
