Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent slot 163 on Brevyn Spann-Ford, a name most had 74 spots down the list. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 29 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 61 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Johnny Wilson this early at the 106th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 163 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
Value with a capital V on Elijah Jones in Round 6, Pick 32, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They liked Kenny Logan Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 240th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at slot 247, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
