Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Lions a B, Ceaser and all.

Somebody in the 193rd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Lions sat still while Nelson Ceaser, the No. 167 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 61. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 73rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board fumbled Mason McCormick all the way to pick 164, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Circle this one: Nelson Ceaser at No. 193 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They read the board right and Cornelius Johnson was the payoff at the 201st overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
