Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B+.

The war room fell hard for Will Putnam, and it showed at No. 250: 57 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 31 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at No. 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 73rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at the 92nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Erick All
A premium they did not need to pay, Erick All a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Will Putnam
Will Putnam at the 250th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
