Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 30: the Lions steal Washington and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Tahj Washington slides to slot 205, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A clean, defensible pick in the 61st pick with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 73rd overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 28, where Brennan Jackson graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in pick 201: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They barely believed it either: Tahj Washington still on the board at No. 205. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Good price on Josh Proctor in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
