The Lions won the night they stopped Means from sliding. Grade: B. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Lions were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Means at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Trey Hendrickson gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A reach on Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 17; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 61, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kamari Lassiter
A tidy bit of business in the 73rd overall pick, where Kamari Lassiter graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
A reach for Darius Muasau in pick 213; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at the 217th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Bub Means
Steal is underselling it; Bub Means at Round 7, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
