Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in pick 249 lands the Lions a B, Proctor and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched Josh Proctor slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Bortolini reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Circle this one: Roman Wilson at pick No. 73 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Steal is underselling it; Mike Sainristil at the 93rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
No drama and no debate, Jaheim Bell went about where he belonged in the 164th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They liked Tanor Bortolini enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 201. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They will replay Walter Rouse at No. 205 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Taking Josh Proctor in Round 7, Pick 29 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
