Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

The war room fell hard for Darius Robinson, and it showed at pick 92: 29 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Chambers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They went early on Brenden Rice in pick No. 61, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A real head-scratcher, Zak Zinter in the 73rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 166th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach for Tanor Bortolini in No. 207; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in No. 250 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
