Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Frank Crum in the 249th pick, a good 45 spots before the room expected him.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sainristil. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Terrace Marshall Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in slot 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A big swing on Brenden Rice at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Circle this one: Mike Sainristil at the 100th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at pick 160 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum at No. 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
