Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Lions, and a C+ to match.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in Braiden McGregor, taking him 110 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 30 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A wild overpay on Zak Zinter in the 73rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Demorie Tate
Value said wait; Demorie Tate in the 167th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones is a better player than pick 208 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick 251 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
