Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesD+ FutureB-
The Lions land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Trevor Keegan pick is the one that will follow the Lions into the fall. They took him 44 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hadden. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid up for Kingsley Suamataia at pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 61st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 29 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They reached a country mile for Trevor Keegan at slot 207, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
You do not let a cornerback like Ryan Watts reach the 247th pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
