There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Lions never got to the one that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Reaching for Lomu left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
