Draft Grade — Lions
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureD-
The board had answers; the Lions had Zinter. Grade: F.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Zak Zinter in pick No. 73, a good 32 spots before the room expected him.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Torrence pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left safety open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 21st overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 4, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They talked themselves into Zak Zinter at slot 73, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Fair-plus on Justin Eboigbe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at pick No. 205 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
