Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Lions started one anyway for Matthew Jones, 53 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Nubin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 29 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Taking Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the 73rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in Round 3, Pick 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A slide stopped in the 163rd pick, with Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached a country mile for Matthew Jones at pick 207, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
