Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions let Mack fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let King Mack slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If Tuioti pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti in No. 17 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Chris Peal
Chris Peal is a better player than pick No. 50 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ty Benefield
By-the-book stuff, Ty Benefield at the 118th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Amaris Williams
Amaris Williams in Round 6, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 King Mack
King Mack at slot 203 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Emmanuel Karnley
Circle this one: Emmanuel Karnley at pick 212 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
The board had Mark Nabou Jr. higher than the 222nd overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
