Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Cephus fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched Joshua Cephus slide 21 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Driskell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
They read the board right and Terrion Arnold was the payoff at the 30th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in pick 62, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 73 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in the 93rd overall pick, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
A premium they did not need to pay, Ethan Driskell a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 208 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Circle this one: Joshua Cephus at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
