Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Lions steal Rice and grade out a B.

Somebody in the 92nd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Brenden Rice, the No. 67 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Fiske to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No drama and no debate, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 37. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They paid up for Braden Fiske at Round 3, Pick 9 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
The board fumbled Brenden Rice all the way to pick No. 92, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Renardo Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Renardo Green at the 163rd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell slipping to slot 207 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Value with a capital V on Jontrey Hunter in No. 247, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
