A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Lions get a C+. Nobody had Gabriel Rubio this high, and it is not close. The Lions reached 172 spots to get him at slot 213.
Perkins Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
So much rides on Anthony Hill Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 17 they get a three-down second-level presence, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malachi Fields
Value said wait; Malachi Fields in the 50th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118
Rnd4
Malik Muhammad
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
They let Keylan Rutledge come to them and pounced at pick 128. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Harold Perkins Jr.
Somehow Harold Perkins Jr. was still sitting there in No. 157, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at Round 5, Pick 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205
Rnd6
Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Gabriel Rubio
Gabriel Rubio in the 213th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick222
Rnd7
Chase Roberts
The board had Chase Roberts higher than the 222nd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
