Overall B

Good, not great, for the Lions: B.

The C.J. Hanson pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 99 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Landing Williams that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 73rd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Value with a capital V on Austin Booker in Round 3, Pick 26, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 C.J. Hanson
They reached into another round for C.J. Hanson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in No. 201 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
They robbed the room for Ro Torrence here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 45, where Tanner McLachlan graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Taking Evan Williams in the 245th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Barrett at pick No. 246. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Nothing to complain about; KT Leveston went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
