You can draft well and still miss the point. The Lions did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to offensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most.

Landing Delane that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 2 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
