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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Lions walked right past.

Every board in the league had Abrams-Draine lower, and that gap is the story. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In No. 29 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reach for Zach Frazier in pick 40; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 9 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Johnny Wilson a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sione Vaki this early at the 164th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
