Just about everyone does draft grades these days and this year is no exception. Of course, at this stage in the season, no one really knows how each team did, and the outlook will look extremely different in three years than the current common perception.

This doesn't really come as much of a surprise, as outside of the A'Shawn Robinson pick in the second round, the Lions didn't do anything to turn heads. They also grabbed just two "skill players" late in the draft, which is usually the kind of pick that sways the draft-grade needle in one way or another.
