FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Lions steal Rakestraw Jr. and grade out a B+. You build a draft on nights like this. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. had no business being available in the 73rd overall pick, and the Lions did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick61
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They will replay Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 3, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Darius Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
