The Lions land in the muddy middle: C. The Lions clearly saw something nobody else did in Denver Harris, taking him 130 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Landing Trost that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
So much rides on Malik Muhammad that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Malik Muhammad
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50
Rnd2
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at slot 50 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Keagen Trost
The board fumbled Keagen Trost all the way to the 186th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
Nothing to complain about; Pat Coogan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212
Rnd6
Denver Harris
A wild overpay on Denver Harris in the 212th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey in No. 222 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
