Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA NeedA- TradesC FutureB+
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on McCoy: B+.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jermod McCoy, the No. 9 name on the board, in the 135th pick.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In slot 21 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 David Bailey
Circle this one: David Bailey at the 49th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 117th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
Taking Jermod McCoy in No. 135 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
