Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in Sam Hartman, taking him 34 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Legette.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 29 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They read the board right and Braden Fiske was the payoff at pick No. 61. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy bit of business in pick 163, where Jarrian Jones graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
A clean, defensible pick in slot 211 with a little surplus value in Nathan Thomas. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 232nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A big swing on Sam Hartman at pick No. 249, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
