No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Lions.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Barryn Sorrell; the Lions did not wait, grabbing him 87 spots ahead at the 227th overall pick.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Horsley makes the weekend a net positive. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jack Bech
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Bech at pick 60, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
No drama and no debate, Jake Majors went about where he belonged in No. 101. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Value with a capital V on Jacob Parrish in pick No. 133, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A premium they did not need to pay, Hayden Conner a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 227th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Nice patience on Cam Horsley, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 12. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
