Larceny in Round 5, Pick 27 lands the Lions a A-, Fisher and all.

When a board-topper like Blake Fisher slides to pick No. 163, you do not overthink it, and the Lions did not. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Mike Evans deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A clean, defensible pick in pick 73 with a little surplus value in Brandon Dorlus. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 29, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 104 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 163rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
