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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Lions were there to profit. Tyler Nubin, the No. 29 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 62.

The Ugwoegbu pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach No. 62 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in pick 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached into another round for Leonard Taylor III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick167 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A premium they did not need to pay, Roger Rosengarten a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
A real head-scratcher, David Ugwoegbu in the 208th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at slot 251 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
