I dont see any major differences here.
Remember Peko, Patrick and Robinson were after the draft
So still time to make some minor impact moves.
As for the Cap situation last year vs this year.
2024 ~9.5% of cap space left (after sewell and St ext)
2025 ~11.1% of cap space left
Yes Readers hit is about to spike but that can be reworked. Yes we have to sign hutch but that might bring DOWN his hit like sewell and st did. And we still extended Goff and Mac after this as well.
I think the Lions are in a better spot now vs last year
