The phones sank the Lions this weekend: C+. The war room fell hard for Trey Taylor, and it showed at the 205th overall pick: 57 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In slot 29 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
They took Ricky Pearsall at par in pick 61, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 9 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
A reach on Caelen Carson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at pick No. 205 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
