Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Lions fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The Freeling reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Slaughter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 26 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Banks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter is a better player than pick No. 60 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at slot 118 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A reach on Bryce Boettcher in the 155th pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
They jumped the gun on Sawyer Robertson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bud Clark in pick 203. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 222 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
