Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Eric Gentry at pick No. 222. The Lions jumped the board by 90 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 24th overall pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Caden Curry
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caden Curry. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Louis in slot 70, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
A reach for Hezekiah Masses in Round 4, Pick 18; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Sam Roush
They talked themselves into Sam Roush at pick No. 139, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick 155 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
They paid sticker price for Pat Coogan in pick 186, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
No edge and no loss on Thaddeus Dixon in the 203rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keyron Crawford this early at slot 212. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in pick No. 222 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
