Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: B+.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in Drew Kendall, taking him 50 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. O'Cyrus Torrence gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 30 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick No. 60 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in Round 3, Pick 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick130 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 130th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Nothing to complain about; Jaylen Reed went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They reached into another round for Drew Kendall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
