Nobody dealt better than the Lions this weekend: A-. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Lions, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Van Pran has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton at slot 50 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A conviction pick on Sedrick Van Pran at the 73rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
A tidy little value on Caelen Carson in pick 92, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Fair-plus on Kris Abrams-Draine, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
