Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Lions: B.

Some picks age like wine; Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 42 spots clear of his grade.

On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 29 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 61st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 27 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A real head-scratcher, Zion Logue in the 247th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
