Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Torrence should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Ro Torrence sat on the board until the 249th overall pick, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Value with a capital V on Jer'Zhan Newton in the 29th overall pick, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 61st pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 James Williams
Circle this one: James Williams at pick 164 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in No. 201 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 6, Pick 30 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
Steal is underselling it; Ro Torrence at slot 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
