Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B-.

The Que Robinson selection is the head-turner. The Lions reached 91 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd3 Que Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Que Robinson this early at pick 102. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaylen Reed
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Reed at slot 130, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at Round 4, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at No. 196 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 206 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A real head-scratcher, Collin Oliver in No. 244 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
