Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Mondon Jr.: B+.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 110 name on the board, in No. 198. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The cost of the Griffith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They did well to land Alfred Collins in No. 60, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in pick No. 101. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 227th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to slot 230, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
