Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Lions let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kyle Williams slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Quentin Johnston deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, with JT Tuimoloau leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They let JT Tuimoloau come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 28. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 101st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in No. 133 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A tidy little value on Nazir Stackhouse in pick 198, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No edge and no loss on Isaac TeSlaa in the 227th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Circle this one: Robert Longerbeam at slot 230 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
