Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Kinchens: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kamren Kinchens had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 29, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A tidy little value on Ruke Orhorhoro in the 61st pick, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at pick 92 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in slot 139 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 163rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Joe Milton III graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
They read the board right and Ryan Cooper Jr. was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and LaDarius Henderson at the 256th overall pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
