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

Everything else got attention, and safety got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft.

On value alone, Sweat makes the weekend a net positive. McLachlan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 61st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 73; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in the 163rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in No. 207 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at pick 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
