Draft Grade — Lions

Larceny in slot 201 lands the Lions a B, Hopper and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Ty'Ron Hopper, the No. 181 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 201.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick 61 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to pick No. 164. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 201 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A quiet steal in the 205th overall pick: Johnny Dixon for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Value with a capital V on Daijahn Anthony in No. 249, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
