The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Lions walked right past. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Watts at that price is a win they earned. Josh Reynolds gives the group a proven body among the projects.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
