There is reaching, and then there is Parker Brailsford at the Round 1 slot. The Lions jumped the board by 74 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 1 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
