drago DRAFTING FOR THELions

Draft Grade — Lions

FutureB-
The Lions let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Isaiah Williams, slot 248, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged.
The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick 27 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kalen King
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kalen King in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Donovan Edwards
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Edwards at No. 84 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adisa Isaac. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 127th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164
Rnd5
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in Round 5, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick205
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 205 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the 248th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
