The Lions torched the value chart for Maxwell Hairston, taking him 45 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
