The Lions won the night they stopped Simpson from sliding. Grade: A-. The Lions did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jaylin Simpson fell into the 177th overall pick. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In the end it comes back to T'Vondre Sweat, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick63
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 63rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73
Rnd3
D.J. James
D.J. James is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in pick 93, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Johnny Dixon
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Dixon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 167 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Simpson still on the board at No. 177. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jeremy James
The board had Jeremy James higher than slot 251, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
