PR DRAFTING FOR THELions

The Lions did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The war room fell hard for Tyler Batty, and it showed at the 228th pick: 85 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
They banked enough surplus on Higgins to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In No. 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at Round 2, Pick 32. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 131 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 133rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the 195th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228
Rnd7
Tyler Batty
They reached a country mile for Tyler Batty at pick 228, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Oscar Delp
A wild overpay on Oscar Delp in pick 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
