Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions land in the muddy middle: C.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Monroe Freeling, 91 picks early at the Round 1 slot.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Louis. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sam Roush
They did well to land Sam Roush in No. 155, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keyron Crawford well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Catalon this early at the 212th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
Value said wait; Gabriel Rubio in pick No. 222 says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
