Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Mark Perry at the 207th pick. The Lions jumped the board by 37 and dared it to prove them wrong. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Danielle Hunter deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 31 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A premium they did not need to pay, Braden Fiske a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid up for Dominick Puni at No. 92 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 166 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Mark Perry
They reached into another round for Mark Perry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 209 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
