Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC
The Lions robbed the room for McGlothern. Final grade: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Lions should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McGlothern. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick 30 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Josh Newton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Newton. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 73 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malik Mustapha at pick No. 167 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Good price on Roger Rosengarten in the 208th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 251 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
