A sensible, unshowy class lands the Lions a B.

The Lions went off the board in a big way for Jaylon Carlies, 23 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick30 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean

A quiet steal in pick 30: Cooper DeJean for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick62 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus

Brandon Dorlus at the 62nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick73 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

A slide stopped in No. 73, with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.

Pick93 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson

They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at Round 3, Pick 30. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick167 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten

No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
