Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Lions robbed the room for Sainristil. Final grade: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Lions, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Sainristil at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Reaching for Vaki left real value on the table behind him. The Pat Surtain II deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 76th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sione Vaki this early at slot 164. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Value with a capital V on Gabe Hall in the 201st pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 205 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Barrett at Round 7, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
