Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Lions.

Every other box got a look, but offensive lineman did not. The Lions will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In slot 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
By-the-book stuff, Princely Umanmielen at pick 62 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick93 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
They paid sticker price for Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 93, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
