Best value of the weekend goes to the Lions for Lambert-Smith: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Lions watched KeAndre Lambert-Smith slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick60
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 2, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Omarr Norman-Lott in the 101st pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 133 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in slot 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 198 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the 227th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246
Rnd7
John Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on John Williams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
