Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Lions should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Keegan lower, and that gap is the story. Getting Richardson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 31 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 D.J. James
They took D.J. James at par in No. 62, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A premium they did not need to pay, Mike Sainristil a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
The board had Roman Wilson higher than pick 94, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 97th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick167 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They jumped the gun on Curtis Jacobs, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They reached into another round for Trevor Keegan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
They let Demani Richardson come to them and pounced at the 251st overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
