Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
Marks should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Woody Marks, the 229th pick, roughly 52 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at pick No. 63, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick134 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 134th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They did well to land Jordan Hancock in the 194th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Somehow Ricky White III was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They will replay Woody Marks at No. 229 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
