Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureB
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B- to prove it.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Lions left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Tupuola-Fetui reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Lions paired the rookies with proven help, Ikem Ekwonu leading the way.

The Fautanu value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They did well to land Xavier Legette in the 43rd pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in No. 61 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at Round 6, Pick 26 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They paid up for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 205 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
