Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Lions torched the value chart for Drew Shelton, taking him 33 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Oke. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at pick 50 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the safety. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 David Oke
Value with a capital V on David Oke in the 155th pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick186 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
A wild overpay on Eric O'Neill in slot 186, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Noah Fifita
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Noah Fifita at pick No. 203. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan White
They liked Jordan White enough to skip the value, taking him in the 212th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
They took Dijon Johnson at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
