Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC+
The Lions let Moore fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Malachi Moore, the No. 104 name on the board, sitting there at No. 154 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Simpkins III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 31 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick99 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They read the board right and Denzel Burke was the payoff at pick No. 99. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in No. 134 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the 196th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in the 228th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in slot 244 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
