Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Lions would have aced it. Jacory Croskey-Merritt at the 244th pick is 38 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Vinson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They jumped the gun on Tate Ratledge, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Parrish in Round 3, Pick 38, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A conviction pick on Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid a round early for Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 199, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reach on Isaac TeSlaa in the 228th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt at pick No. 244 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
