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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Hollin Pierce got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at slot 157. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Jennings to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They took Demetrius Knight Jr. at par in pick 60, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Bond reach pick No. 101 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 5, Pick 18 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A slide stopped in No. 192, with Jaylen Reed worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kevin Jennings this early at the Round 7 slot. It fills a real need, too.
