Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The war room fell hard for Trey Wedig, and it showed at pick No. 207: 62 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Adding Danielle Hunter by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at No. 61 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 9; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 166th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
A wild overpay on De'Corian Clark in pick 168, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at slot 207 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Demani Richardson in Round 7, Pick 30. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
