Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Lions went off the board in a big way for Tanor Bortolini, 37 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick No. 29 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Good price on Xavier Worthy in the 61st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A conviction pick on Michael Hall Jr. at No. 73 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Baker in pick 100. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 152nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Erick All
By-the-book stuff, Erick All at No. 201 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A clean, defensible pick in pick 249 with a little surplus value in Josh Proctor. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
