Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Wells Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Antwane Wells Jr., the No. 185 name on the board, sitting there at No. 230 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In pick No. 28 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in pick 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They paid sticker price for Tez Johnson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to the 132nd pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Somehow Anthony Belton was still sitting there in the 133rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They let Jay Higgins come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 20. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 227 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.
Pick230 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
They barely believed it either: Antwane Wells Jr. still on the board at No. 230. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
The board had Jabbar Muhammad higher than No. 246, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in Round 7, Pick 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
