Draft Grade — Lions

A solid, sensible weekend for the Lions: B-. There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Lions never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Every board in the league had Lomu lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 1 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 17th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
