Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Lions came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 60th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board had cheaper options than Tate Ratledge at pick No. 61, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
