Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Not the weekend the Lions were hoping for: D+.

The Cam Calhoun selection is the head-turner. The Lions reached 385 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilde. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Andrew Sprague
In No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Zavier Mincey
Zavier Mincey at pick 57 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Boo Carter
A real head-scratcher, Boo Carter in slot 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Edwin Spillman
Value said wait; Edwin Spillman in pick No. 128 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Marshall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Marshall. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
A wild overpay on Cam Calhoun in the 206th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Sebastian Cheeks
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 216 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jake Guarnera
Jake Guarnera in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Marquise Lightfoot
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marquise Lightfoot in No. 247. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Griffin Wilde
They barely believed it either: Griffin Wilde still on the board at Round 7, Pick 33. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
