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

The Lions bet big and early on Austin Barber, 57 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In slot 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Austin Barber
Austin Barber in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
