Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Hadden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Kamal Hadden, the No. 168 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 201 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Spann-Ford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
The board had Dallas Turner higher than No. 29, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in pick 73 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Good price on Layden Robinson in slot 179, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board had cheaper options than Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 235th pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
