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 Eyabi Okie-Anoma; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at pick 249. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Braswell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 32nd pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 55 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 73 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in the 95th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good price on Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 26, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones slid further than he should have, and pick No. 205 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Value said wait; Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
