The Lions got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The rest of the league had time to spare on Trinidad Chambliss; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 71 spots ahead at the 118th pick.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Rivers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
The Grant Delpit pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick 17 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In slot 23 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cayden Green
A reach for Cayden Green in Round 3, Pick 6; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Nothing to complain about; Eli Stowers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
Value with a capital V on Chandler Rivers in pick No. 107, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
A big swing on Trinidad Chambliss at pick 118, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Kyle Louis
A wild overpay on Kyle Louis in the 132nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd4
Iapani Laloulu
This one needs a full-page explanation: Iapani Laloulu in the 137th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ Daniels. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at pick No. 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
They left a pile of value on the table to take Lee Hunter this early at the Round 6 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick209
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
They talked themselves into Princewill Umanmielen at slot 209, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jamal Haynes
They reached into another round for Jamal Haynes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
