Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 80 spots ahead at the 230th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Brown at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Good price on Shemar Stewart in pick No. 28, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 60 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 O'Donnell Fortune
Value said wait; O'Donnell Fortune in slot 101 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 133rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They liked Ty Hamilton enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 9. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 230 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
You do not let a running back like Jarquez Hunter reach pick 246 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
