Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Greenfield fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Garret Greenfield tumbling to the Lions in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Circle this one: Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 164 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in slot 201, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Evan Williams
The board had cheaper options than Evan Williams at No. 205, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Steal is underselling it; Garret Greenfield at the 249th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
