The Lions graded out well in the first wave of free agency, adding key players such as a legitimate backup in quarterback Chase Daniel and linebacker Jamie Collins, who is likely to be one of the team’s top defensive players this season.

In the second wave of free agency, the Lions have mostly added depth. Here are the grades for those players.

WR Geronimo Allison

Grade: A

Why: At 6-feet-3 and 202 pounds, he has nice size and presents a better fourth option than Marvin Hall.
