Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Lions: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Davis; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 38 spots ahead at pick 60.

It is not that Stover is a bad player; it is that the Lions had louder needs to answer first. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 60th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A big swing on Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 9, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A want over a need in pick No. 91: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while cornerback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick165 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at No. 165 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in the 206th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at pick 249 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
