The Lions did not so much draft Sione Vaki as overpay for him, 37 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
