Draft Grade — Lions
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Lions bet big and early on Sione Vaki, 44 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The McCaffrey pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 33. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They took Kris Abrams-Draine at par in slot 77, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 95 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at Round 3, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in the 102nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in No. 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in pick No. 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 144th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They let Tommy Eichenberg come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hunter Nourzad in Round 5, Pick 27, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 180th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Value said wait; Tip Reiman in slot 207 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
