FutureB
The Lions turned the phones into found money: B+. The Lions ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
The Moore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Nolen makes the weekend a net positive.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at slot 39 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick41
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A reach for Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 41; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
The board had Jared Wilson higher than No. 111, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
They reached into another round for Malachi Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
They went early on Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 6, Pick 20, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
A conviction pick on Ty Hamilton at pick No. 244 that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
