Good, not great, for the Lions: B-. Nobody had Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins this high, and it is not close. The Lions reached 65 spots to get him at Round 4, Pick 28.
The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Mickens pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Benjamin Morrison
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60
Rnd2
David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102
Rnd3
Chimere Dike
By-the-book stuff, Chimere Dike at the 102nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at slot 130 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196
Rnd6
Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in No. 196 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick228
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick No. 228 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in slot 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
