Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Logan Lee at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 32 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

However the rest shakes out, Greenfield at that price is a win they earned. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In No. 29 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 2, Pick 29 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 73 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in the 108th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A quiet steal in the 163rd pick: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick No. 207 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 247th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
