Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueD NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Lions took Eric Gentry at the 212th overall pick, roughly 100 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick 18 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in the 50th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Louis this early at Round 3, Pick 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses at slot 118 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 186th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They took Thaddeus Dixon at par in No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
A real head-scratcher, Keyron Crawford in Round 7, Pick 6 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
