Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Lions won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Barryn Sorrell; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 90 spots ahead at slot 225.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Landing McCord that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in the 28th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A quiet steal in pick No. 134: Kyle McCord for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Value said wait; Seth McLaughlin in Round 6, Pick 20 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at pick 225. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They jumped the gun on Clay Webb, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Aydan White
They reached into another round for Aydan White, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
