Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Lions won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Lions torched the value chart for Logan Fano, taking him 36 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Scott. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 26 they get a ballhawk on the back end, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at pick No. 50 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
The board had Michael Taaffe higher than the 60th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick 82 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in Round 3, Pick 29 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
No drama and no debate, Eli Raridon went about where he belonged in No. 118. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at the 155th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Mason Reiger
Mason Reiger at the 186th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Logan Fano
A real head-scratcher, Logan Fano in Round 6, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
A premium they did not need to pay, Miles Kitselman a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Value said wait; Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 222 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
