Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Green should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B-.

Call it larceny. Taylen Green sat on the board until pick 223, and the Lions did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Muhammad pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the 18th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in No. 50 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in the 118th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
They paid sticker price for Parker Brailsford in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Fair-plus on Chase Roberts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
No edge and no loss on Xavier Nwankpa in slot 189; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in pick 203, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick223 Rnd7 Taylen Green
You do not let a quarterback like Taylen Green reach Round 7, Pick 8 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
