More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Lions took Sam Hartman at slot 250, roughly 32 spots before his name belonged.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Arnold where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 29 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bralen Trice in No. 61. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick 73 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They liked DeWayne Carter enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 92. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in the 163rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
The board had cheaper options than Michael Barrett at the 207th overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in the 250th pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
