Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

The Lions bet big and early on Cooper Beebe, 20 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Barrett pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Nothing to complain about; Terrion Arnold went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at slot 66 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
A straight-up fair deal on Byron Murphy II at the 73rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They reached into another round for Cooper Beebe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in pick 104, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 29, with Darius Robinson worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Nice patience on Michael Barrett, who had no business lasting to the 206th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jeremy James
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeremy James in the 249th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
