Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 73rd pick lands the Lions a C+, Colson and all.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Lions shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 21 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in No. 73 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in slot 164 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire is a better player than Round 6, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in the 205th overall pick: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They read the board right and Edefuan Ulofoshio was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
