Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC-
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Lions, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Suamataia. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 29 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at No. 61 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 73 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They read the board right and Kris Abrams-Draine was the payoff at pick 99. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
