Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Lions and Robertson: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Sawyer Robertson slide, and the Lions were the ones holding the card at the 223rd overall pick. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Kanak pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 17 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Good price on Olaivavega Ioane in the 50th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
They paid sticker price for Chris Johnson in the 118th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A reach on Logan Jones in Round 4, Pick 35; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They took Jacob Rodriguez at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
The board had cheaper options than Jaren Kanak at pick No. 205, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
