Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

The Lions torched the value chart for Alex Birchmeier, taking him 43 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Miller pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
A straight-up fair deal on Cashius Howell at pick No. 28, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
The board fumbled Jake Slaughter all the way to No. 59, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Terry Moore
By-the-book stuff, Terry Moore at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Blake Miller
They robbed the room for Blake Miller here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key at Round 6, Pick 25 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
A quiet steal in pick 216: Cam Calhoun for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Alex Birchmeier this early at pick 221. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
