Draft Grade — Lions
Overall

FutureC+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Lions a B+. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Lions came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Rosengarten proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick61
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at No. 61 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 73rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
They paid a round early for Roger Rosengarten in pick 163, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick247
Rnd7
Mark Perry
They liked Mark Perry enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 247. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
