Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Lions won the night they stopped Adams from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Isaiah Adams at pick No. 217 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

If Nourzad pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton is a better player than pick No. 61 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
They paid up for Hunter Nourzad at the 151st pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
By-the-book stuff, Kitan Oladapo at pick 154 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Dillon Johnson at No. 164, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Isaiah Adams
They will replay Isaiah Adams at the 217th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 249 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
