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

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

They banked enough surplus on Dixon to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Adding Pat Surtain II by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 3, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A slide stopped in pick No. 104, with Brenden Rice worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nothing to complain about; Tykee Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Erick All
By-the-book stuff, Erick All at the 201st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick 205 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony slipping to No. 249 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
