Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THELions
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

TradesB-
FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Nussmeier in the fold, and a B for the Lions. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Garrett Nussmeier is the Lions' quarterback, full stop. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They banked enough surplus on Stewart to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Garrett Nussmeier
In No. 28 they get their quarterback of the future, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
CJ Allen
A tidy bit of business in the 59th pick, where CJ Allen graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Joe Royer
Fair-plus on Joe Royer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
Circle this one: Evan Stewart at pick 208 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216
Rnd6
Miller Moss
Miller Moss at pick No. 216 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jalon Daniels
Value with a capital V on Jalon Daniels in the 221st overall pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
