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

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft.

They banked enough surplus on Sainristil to cover a lot of smaller sins. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the 29th overall pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mekhi Wingo in pick 68. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 9. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They let Mike Sainristil come to them and pounced at slot 92. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
They did well to land Jacob Cowing in pick No. 104, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
