Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

The Lions looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Lance Heard at pick 57 regardless, 31 picks early.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kelley Jones
In pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lance Heard
They talked themselves into Lance Heard at pick No. 57, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Amare Ferrell
Amare Ferrell at Round 4, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Drayk Bowen
They paid sticker price for Drayk Bowen in slot 162, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
