Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Travis Hunter got past him. The Lions do not have to explain a thing at the Round 1 slot. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
