Draft Grade — Lions
Overall A-
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Tampa: A-.

The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Tampa fell into slot 62.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Murphy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In the end it comes back to T.J. Tampa, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Tampa at the 62nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in No. 73 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 27, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in pick No. 93, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
