Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureC+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Simpson: C+.

Somebody took the Lions to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Simpson. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 19 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They did well to land Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Renardo Green
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at No. 73, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 15 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Justin Eboigbe in the 154th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
