Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B

The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B. Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The Delane steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick 17 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker in slot 50 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
