Draft Grade — Lions
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Lions this weekend: D+.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Lions shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Beebe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 17th pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in pick 65; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 80 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A premium they did not need to pay, Zak Zinter a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
