You can draft well and still miss the point. The Lions did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most.

Landing Williams that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
