Four Free Press sports writers give their takes on the Lions’ draft performance:
Dave Birkett: B
The Lions, wisely, put a major emphasis on upgrading their offensive and defensive lines. But they didn’t get any immediate help at defensive end or safety.
Carlos Monarrez: B-minus
Safe, solid, foundation picks early had Lions general manager Bob Quinn bordering on an A, but a backup QB and a long-snapper felt like give-up picks at the end.
Jeff Seidel: B
It was a solid start for Quinn: Not flashy, but he addressed needs and didn’t do anything crazy early.
