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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zion Logue at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 82 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. The Tampa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In slot 29 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 61st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 73 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A clean, defensible pick in the 92nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Caelen Carson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at Round 5, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zion Logue
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in pick No. 207, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Whittington at the 247th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
