Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
The Lions let Johnson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 32 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Cornelius Johnson, the No. 187 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 29 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They let T'Vondre Sweat come to them and pounced at the 61st overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
The board had Cooper Beebe higher than pick No. 92, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in slot 207 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Value with a capital V on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
