Luka67 DRAFTING FOR THELions
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Lions get a C. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Monroe Freeling at pick 17, a reach of 91 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out a thoroughly average C.
The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Hit on Monroe Freeling and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
In pick 17 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the 50th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118
Rnd4
Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155
Rnd5
Sam Roush
Sam Roush at No. 155 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203
Rnd6
Keyron Crawford
A wild overpay on Keyron Crawford in slot 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212
Rnd6
Ahmaad Moses
Ahmaad Moses in the 212th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Gabriel Rubio
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabriel Rubio this early at slot 222. It adds depth where they could use a little.
