Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Horton should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B-.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tory Horton fell into No. 130. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Kennard has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in No. 60 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No edge and no loss on Jared Wilson in slot 102; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 130th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 182nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout is a better player than pick 196 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
