Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: B-.

The Lions ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Beebe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

However the rest shakes out, Tupuola-Fetui at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 18 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in No. 47, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at the 61st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 6 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They took Jaden Hicks at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at pick 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick No. 163 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Value with a capital V on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They jumped the gun on Josh Proctor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A conviction pick on Michael Barrett at No. 207 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached a country mile for Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 247, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
