Draft Grade — Lions

Good, not great, for the Lions: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Lions did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Their trades came out a wash either way.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis

Connor Lew
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
