Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Braswell from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Chris Braswell at the Round 3 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 29 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A tidy bit of business in slot 61, where Kris Jenkins graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Circle this one: Calen Bullock at No. 73 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 92 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Taking Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
