Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureD-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Ali: B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Lions were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The Ali pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

The cost of the Beebe reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 29 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in the 51st pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at slot 61 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in pick No. 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
By-the-book stuff, Kamal Hadden at the 163rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington slid further than he should have, and pick 207 is lovely value for the wide receiver. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They will replay Rasheen Ali at Round 7, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
