Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Lions a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Lions fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Danielle Hunter pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Reaching for Taylor III left real value on the table behind him.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They paid up for Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 92 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
