FutureB
More right than wrong for the Lions, and a B to prove it. Give the room credit for holding its nerve. Keith Randolph Jr. came off the board 17 spots later than his grade, and the Lions were the ones waiting when he fell.
For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Good price on Kamal Hadden in the 139th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 167, where Keith Randolph Jr. graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at Round 6, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251
Rnd7
Aaron Frost
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aaron Frost in No. 251. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
