Somebody in the 244th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Brashard Smith, the No. 100 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If Nash pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
