Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with T'Vondre Sweat at slot 35, a reach of 23 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In pick No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A swing that ignored the value entirely, T'Vondre Sweat well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the 92nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
