Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueA NeedA- TradesB+ FutureC+
The Lions robbed the room for Sadiq. Final grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kenyon Sadiq got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at slot 222. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
Taking Spencer Fano in the 43rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane in No. 72 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordyn Tyson
They will replay Jordyn Tyson at slot 105 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in Round 6, Pick 18 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at pick No. 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
