Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Gore Jr.: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Frank Gore Jr. got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at the 251st pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Lions had louder needs to answer first. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at No. 62 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 73rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves safety, linebacker and other spots untouched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth is a better player than pick No. 167 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Jones at the 208th overall pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
You do not let a running back like Frank Gore Jr. reach pick 251 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
