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

The Lions ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Torrence at that price is a win they earned.

If Sainristil pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in slot 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in the 52nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A reach for Mike Sainristil in pick 61; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in the 73rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They let Jacob Cowing come to them and pounced at slot 156. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Value with a capital V on Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 164th pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at the 201st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to Round 6, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
A tidy bit of business in No. 249, where Daijahn Anthony graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
