Draft Grade — Lions

Larceny in slot 167 lands the Lions a B, Thrash and all.

The Lions spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jamari Thrash, the No. 92 name on the board, in the Round 5 slot.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Whittington proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 62, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 9. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in No. 93. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in slot 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Nothing to complain about; Braiden McGregor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They reached a country mile for Jordan Whittington at the 251st overall pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
