Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B

Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 9: the Lions steal Coleman and grade out a B.

Somebody in pick 73 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 61st pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 29 with a little surplus value in Gabriel Murphy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in No. 163 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick 207 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Nice patience on KT Leveston, who had no business lasting to slot 247. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
