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

They are betting Morrison proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 1 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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