Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesC+ FutureC+
Larceny in slot 121 lands the Lions a B-, Hart and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Hart, slot 121, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Sainristil left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 29th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in slot 73, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Circle this one: Cam Hart at the 121st pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jacob Cowing at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
By-the-book stuff, Miyan Williams at Round 7, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
