Nobody else had Donovan Ezeiruaku anywhere near the Round 1 slot. The Lions did, by 25 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on Donovan Ezeiruaku and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
