Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Steele: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Carson Steele slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 39. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Milton III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A premium they did not need to pay, Dominick Puni a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in slot 126, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They paid up for Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at the 189th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick 210 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in pick No. 257 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
