Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC NeedA- TradesA FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Lions.

Nobody had Darius Robinson this high, and it is not close. The Lions reached 60 spots to get him at the 61st pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in No. 61, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They took Malachi Corley at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reach for Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 29; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 163rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
A quiet steal in pick No. 207: Ethan Driskell for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at pick No. 247, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
