Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B+.

There is a lot to like until you notice safety is still a hole. The Lions never got to the one that mattered most.

Landing Sweat that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The All pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 29th pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in No. 61 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T'Vondre Sweat in Round 3, Pick 9. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is a better player than pick No. 92 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at pick 207 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
No edge and no loss on Tatum Bethune in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
