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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Driskell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
