I've already separately run down my grades for each day of the draft, but below is an overall look at the Lions' entire draft.
Rd. | # | Player | Pos. | College | Grade |
1 | 1 | Matthew Stafford |
QB |
Georgia |
C |
1 | 20 | Brandon Pettigrew |
TE | Oklahoma St. |
B+ |
2 | 33 | Louis Delmas |
S | Western Mich. |
B- |
3 | 76 | DeAndre Levy | LB | Wisconsin | D+ |
3 | 82 | Derrick Williams |
WR | Penn State |
D+ |
4 | 115 | Sammie Lee Hill |
DT | Stillman | A |
6 | 192 | Aaron Brown |
RB | TCU | D |
7 | 228 | Lydon Murtha |
OT |
Nebraska |
B |
7 | 235 | Zack Follett | LB | California | A |
7 | 255 | Dan Gronkowski | TE | Maryland | D |
OVERALL | C+ |
The overall grade could have easily been a B-, and looking back I'm starting to think I may have under-graded the Delmas and Pettigrew picks. Regardless, I'm sticking with my initial thoughts and gave the Lions a C+ for their draft as a whole. There were a few good picks, a few questionable ones, and a few in between.
