FutureA
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Lions. The Lions bet big and early on Kameryn Crawford, 78 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
The Alexander value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Kelley Jones
In the 32nd pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61
Rnd2
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears at Round 2, Pick 29 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick75
Rnd3
Samson Okunlola
They paid up for Samson Okunlola at the 75th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88
Rnd3
Andrew Sprague
They paid sticker price for Andrew Sprague in pick 88, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill in No. 89 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick90
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
They robbed the room for Bear Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jaylen McClain
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen McClain at Round 3, Pick 27, and it noticed. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick93
Rnd3
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in pick 93 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick101
Rnd3
Anto Saka
Anto Saka at the 101st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102
Rnd3
Kameryn Crawford
Value said wait; Kameryn Crawford in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127
Rnd4
Sahir West
They talked themselves into Sahir West at the 127th pick, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ian Moore
They reached into another round for Ian Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick179
Rnd5
Dylan Raiola
Dylan Raiola at pick No. 179 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick201
Rnd6
Benjamin Brahmer
A big swing on Benjamin Brahmer at slot 201, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jeremiah Cobb
They reached a country mile for Jeremiah Cobb at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Zavier Mincey
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 33, with Zavier Mincey worth more than the price. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick217
Rnd6
Kayin Lee
Steal is underselling it; Kayin Lee at No. 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick237
Rnd7
Johntay Cook
Johntay Cook in the 237th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
