Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B-.

The Lions put a flag in the ground for Joe Milton III, 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Grable value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 29th pick they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Devontez Walker in No. 73. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 164 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in slot 201: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trente Jones in the 205th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at the 249th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
