Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B.

The Zion Logue pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 77 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Haynes steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 29 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Value said wait; Mike Sainristil in pick 61 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 73rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Taking Christian Haynes in pick No. 92 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
They talked themselves into Ethan Driskell at No. 163, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
