Draft Grade — Lions
Overall C-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesF FutureA
Larceny in No. 201 lands the Lions a C-, Liufau and all.

When a board-topper like Marist Liufau slides to the 201st pick, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 28 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Taking Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 61 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They read the board right and Brenden Rice was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 11. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in the 164th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They robbed the room for Marist Liufau here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Johnny Dixon for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 249th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
