Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Suamataia: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kingsley Suamataia tumbling to the Lions in No. 73 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Jordan left real value on the table behind him.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 29 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in slot 61, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 73 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 157th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They let Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They paid a round early for Jaylen Harrell in the 200th pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They paid up for Jawhar Jordan at Round 6, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu in pick No. 247 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
