Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

For all the boxes ticked, the Lions skipped the loudest one: safety is exactly as bare as it was. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Vidal pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 29 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Fair-plus on Chris Braswell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in No. 74 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Value with a capital V on Malachi Corley in pick No. 92, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Hart in slot 145. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
No edge and no loss on Delmar Glaze in the 166th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zion Logue
No drama and no debate, Zion Logue went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 30. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
