Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Pearsall: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ricky Pearsall slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at the Round 7 slot. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Jackson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker, quarterback and other spots. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the 27th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Fair-plus on Quinyon Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose interior defensive lineman. McKinnley Jackson in No. 84 leaves linebacker, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 127th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tre Harris
No edge and no loss on Tre Harris in pick 164; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 205 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
They robbed the room for Ricky Pearsall here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
