Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: C.J. Hanson, 28 picks early at the 247th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. However the rest shakes out, Legette at that price is a win they earned.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton slipping to the 29th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at slot 61 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in No. 73; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick 163 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 207th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at Round 7, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
