ValueD NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Lions did enough to get by: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Lions spent Round 1, Pick 28 on Donovan Ezeiruaku, a name most had 24 spots down the list. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

If Donovan Ezeiruaku and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
