SIS Scouting Reports — Grade (Scale)

Derrick Harmon, DT — 6.7 (Strong Starter)
Grey Zabel, OC — 6.6 (Lower-end Starter)
Josaiah Stewart, ED — 5.9 (Backup)

Although the Lions miss out on their preferred EDGE defender, they're happy to bring local boy Derrick Harmon home and make him the newest Lion.

Harmon flashes true three-down ability as a defensive lineman who can lineup as a 1-technique nose tackle to stuff the run, a 3-technique to rush the QB, and even line up out wide and stress the tackle if the Lions are feeling frisky, which we know they're wont to do.

Then, in the second, the Lions can't believe Grey Zabel is falling. The North Dakota offensive lineman was a media darling at the Senior Bowl and has been a steady presence in the first round of mocks ever since, but he's being projected as a center and that's the one position he hasn't yet played along the offensive line, and he's coming from FCS football, so it's little more than theory and bordering on downright hopium.

Sounds like a Lion, right? Of course he does. After having him in for a Top 30 visit, Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell stop the slide, make a deal with Atlanta, and add Zabel to preserve their strength for years to come.

Then, in the third round, Dan Campbell is absolutely losing his shit as Josaiah Stewart is still on the board, a guy he knows is a Top 100 player in the draft, and it's absolutely absurd to him that anyone could think differently, that they could be so blind to his dog levels, to his talent, to his ability to overcome the odds and help his team win. Brett Veach picks up the phone, they call in the trade to the league office, and Stewart is the latest Lion.

Hot damn, Detroit. You've done it again.
