Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Kiner fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Corey Kiner got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at slot 227.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Paul Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 28 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Paul Jr.
Value said wait; Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Tez Johnson at pick 133 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 198 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
They barely believed it either: Corey Kiner still on the board at Round 7, Pick 9. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in the 230th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They will replay Jermari Harris at No. 246 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
