The Lions worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Lions started one anyway for Jamaree Caldwell, 73 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick60
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
A reach on Elic Ayomanor in the 60th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 19, where Jaylen Reed graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at the 225th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A slide stopped in No. 228, with Jamon Dumas-Johnson worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 244 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
