Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Darius Robinson had no business being available in No. 64, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Rosemy-Jacksaint proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 29th pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They robbed the room for Darius Robinson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 73 with a little surplus value in Kingsley Suamataia. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 4, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Value with a capital V on Josh Newton in the 164th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They reached into another round for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
