You can hear the double-takes from here. The Lions took Sam Hartman at slot 249, roughly 34 spots before his name belonged.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The back end got a real overhaul.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
