Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Pritchett. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Nehemiah Pritchett at the 205th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cost of the Wilson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 32nd overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Fair-plus on Adisa Isaac, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 90 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 95 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Value said wait; Johnny Wilson in No. 104 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
A reach for Garret Greenfield in pick 201; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
