Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did enough to get by: C+.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in Antwaun Powell-Ryland, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Mbow pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Hit on Bradyn Swinson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Bradyn Swinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bradyn Swinson in Round 1, Pick 28, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They let Marcus Mbow come to them and pounced at the 60th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at slot 102. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
They talked themselves into Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 130, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 196th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A reach on Cam Horsley in pick 228; the board had better options right there. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick244 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 244 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
