2009 Lions Draft Grades

Feature Story


For a first effort, I believe this front office and coaching staff did somewhat poorly. They overpaid for their prized first pick, they ignored the defenses most glaring need, despite having ample opportunity to pick up a player to fill that middle linebacker spot who is more than capable of starting on day one, and they seemed determined to stick to their plan of taking the best player on their board, instead of taking the player who will be the most valuable to the team. The team failed to get another pass rusher, which should have been considered.

Lionbacker's Micheal Morelli grades the Lions selections pick by pick and gives you his choices at each spot.
