Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Schwesinger: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Carson Schwesinger got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at pick 102. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 60 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Taking Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 196th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in the 228th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A quiet steal in No. 244: Desmond Watson for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
