The Lions fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Lions came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
They are betting Graves proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The Scott value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick 20 they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in No. 50 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Value with a capital V on Keionte Scott in pick No. 82, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at slot 118 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Aaron Graves
A big swing on Aaron Graves at the 134th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156
Rnd5
Terion Stewart
No edge and no loss on Terion Stewart in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the 162nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187
Rnd6
Bud Clark
Bud Clark at Round 6, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204
Rnd6
Miller Moss
Miller Moss is a better player than pick 204 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Fernando Carmona
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Carmona at Round 7, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
