Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 228 lands the Lions a B, Lachey and all.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Luke Lachey, the No. 193 name on the board, in No. 228. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Carroll pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 102 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joshua Farmer at the 130th pick is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick196 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Good price on Roc Taylor in pick No. 196, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the 228th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quinn Carroll. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
