FutureD
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is 36 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. On value alone, Braswell makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at No. 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Good price on Xavier Legette in pick No. 42, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Braswell at pick 59 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 61st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
The board had Kamren Kinchens higher than the 73rd overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 30 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
