Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB FutureB
The Lions robbed the room for Greenfield. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Garret Greenfield at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Lee lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at pick No. 61 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 73rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They paid sticker price for Jaheim Bell in slot 164, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 201st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Steal is underselling it; Garret Greenfield at pick 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
