Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Jones should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched Trente Jones slide 55 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 29 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Somehow Kamari Lassiter was still sitting there in slot 61, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in the 164th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 201 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
Taking Hunter Nourzad in the 205th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Circle this one: Trente Jones at No. 249 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
