Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Gould: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Anthony Gould, the No. 142 name on the board, stolen at pick 201.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 29 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in slot 61 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Taking Adisa Isaac in the 73rd pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Javon Foster
You do not let an offensive lineman like Javon Foster reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the 201st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
They will replay Fabien Lovett at Round 6, Pick 30 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick249 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett slid further than he should have, and No. 249 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
