2015 NFL Draft grades: Grading the Detroit Lions' picks

Pride Of Detroit's Alex Reno takes a closer look at the Detroit Lions' 2015 NFL Draft class, hands out grades and examines each player's role moving forward.

Last year, Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew explained that he wanted three starters, three role players and three developmental players from each draft. That's a difficult task when you only have seven picks, but let's give it a shot anyway. Here are my grades for each of the seven picks, along with "Mayhew's role."

This pick looks so much sexier when you include the fact that the Lions were able to trade down and add a couple of extra picks, along with veteran guard and former Lion Manny Ramirez.
