Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a C-, for the Lions.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Lions' quarterback, full stop.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Harrell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If J.J. McCarthy and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 30 they get a long-term answer under center, even if it was a touch early.
Pick62 Rnd2 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in Round 2, Pick 30 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They paid a round early for Mike Sainristil in the 73rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is a better player than the 93rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Harrell in slot 167, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
