The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Christen Miller, the No. 26 name on the board, sitting there at No. 50 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Lomu pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
