Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B.

The Lions spent real capital to be 35 picks early on Sam Hartman, and the board is going to hold them to it.

On value alone, Jenkins makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In the 29th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
The board had Kris Jenkins higher than Round 2, Pick 29, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine is a better player than slot 86 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy little value on Javon Foster in pick 124, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at No. 163, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Good price on Drake Nugent in the 207th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They let Frank Gore Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 236. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A big swing on Sam Hartman at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
