Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Lions went off the board in a big way for Logan Lee, 34 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in pick 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at Round 3, Pick 29 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the 141st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in No. 207, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at pick 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
