Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Lions a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Lions were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in slot 33, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A clean, defensible pick in the 61st overall pick with a little surplus value in Edgerrin Cooper. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in pick 102, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Lee
They read the board right and Logan Lee was the payoff at the 163rd pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at pick No. 207 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in No. 247 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
