Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Lions a B-, Jones and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Sheridan Jones tumbling to the Lions in the 249th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Jefferson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 73rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at No. 164, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick201 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
No edge and no loss on Julian Pearl in Round 6, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at slot 205, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Circle this one: Sheridan Jones at pick 249 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
