Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Collin Oliver at pick No. 246, a reach of 92 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Zuhn III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick101 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Phillips at pick 101, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick198 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in slot 198 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Value with a capital V on Trey Zuhn III in the 227th overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick No. 230 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at No. 246 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
