Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions. The Lions torched the value chart for Max Llewellyn, taking him 28 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Virgil value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In slot 17 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jude Bowry
They went early on Jude Bowry in the 118th pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Max Llewellyn
A big swing on Max Llewellyn at the 128th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Nadame Tucker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nadame Tucker in pick No. 157, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd5
Reggie Virgil
A tidy bit of business in No. 181, where Reggie Virgil graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205
Rnd6
Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes at Round 6, Pick 24 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213
Rnd6
Dalton Johnson
Dalton Johnson at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Bryson Eason
They took Bryson Eason at par in No. 222, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
