jmomoney DRAFTING FOR THELions
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Lions
Overall
B

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Lions. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent slot 207 on Darius Muasau, a name most had 31 spots down the list.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Arnold at that price is a win they earned.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 29 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in No. 61, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
They did well to land Brandon Dorlus in the 73rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A premium they did not need to pay, Dominick Puni a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick207
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
They reached into another round for Darius Muasau, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247
Rnd7
Mark Perry
A reach for Mark Perry in Round 7, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
