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

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Lions shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Morris has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick118 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
They read the board right and Xavier Scott was the payoff at slot 118. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Domani Jackson a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They jumped the gun on Zane Durant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick187 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
A reach on Josh Cuevas in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
They paid up for Brandon Inniss at Round 6, Pick 24 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Gunner Stockton
They let Gunner Stockton come to them and pounced at the 222nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A wild overpay on Micah Morris in No. 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
