Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Lions: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Lions walked out of the weekend still thin at offensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Landing Corley that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Sainristil reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 29th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 D.J. James
A straight-up fair deal on D.J. James at slot 61, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick 92 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
