Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureD
Thrash should have been long gone. The Lions pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jamari Thrash, the No. 92 name on the board, stolen at the 139th overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will need McGregor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in slot 61 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Taking Mike Sainristil in No. 111 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Circle this one: Jamari Thrash at the 139th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at pick 166 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
