Everything else got attention, and offensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Lions to leave a draft.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Jermod McCoy · CB · rank 16

In the 17th overall pick they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.

R2.18 · Pick 50 · Malachi Lawrence · DE-EDGE · rank 54

Malachi Lawrence in pick 50 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
