Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Lions left linebacker untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 29 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at Round 2, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A slide stopped in No. 164, with Kitan Oladapo worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 201st overall pick, where Cornelius Johnson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Erick All
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Erick All. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker in the 249th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
