Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Darius Robinson; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 28 spots ahead at No. 93. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 30 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the 62nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at slot 93, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
