Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD- FutureC+
The Lions lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Lions shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The final tally is a middling C+.

They are betting Sinnott proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cooper falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

So much rides on Terrion Arnold that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Value with a capital V on Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 19, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
By-the-book stuff, Marshawn Kneeland at pick 92 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 93 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They talked themselves into Javon Foster at slot 101, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 103rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 131st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They paid a round early for Justin Eboigbe in Round 4, Pick 34, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at slot 138, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Value said wait; Kamal Hadden in No. 144 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
