Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B-.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Wilson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Rosengarten pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A clean, defensible pick in No. 61 with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in pick 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is a better player than slot 92 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
The board had cheaper options than Roger Rosengarten at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
By-the-book stuff, Gabe Hall at pick No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick250 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Demani Richardson in the 250th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
