For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Lions walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
