FutureD
The Lions cashed the board's mistake on Torrence: F. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Lions shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Kneeland has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They banked enough surplus on Torrence to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 24th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the 33rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in pick 56; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
They went early on Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Lynn Polk. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaden Hicks at slot 101 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at pick 103, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in the 201st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205
Rnd6
Erick All
A tidy little value on Erick All in Round 6, Pick 30, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Nathan Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace slid further than he should have, and pick No. 249 is lovely value for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
