Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Amos: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Trey Amos, the No. 50 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in No. 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 60th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
By-the-book stuff, Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 133 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in pick No. 198 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick227 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
They will replay Josaiah Stewart at Round 7, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 230th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Somehow Trey Amos was still sitting there in pick 246, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
