Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions robbed the room for Chambers. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Steele Chambers, Round 7, Pick 31, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 62 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton slid further than he should have, and No. 73 is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braden Fiske at pick 93. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They took Omar Speights at par in slot 208, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A linebacker of that caliber at the 251st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
