This was the draft Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn and coach Matt Patricia needed to have.

For fans.

For ownership.

For themselves.

The Lions addressed the most peculiar draft we’re likely to see in our lifetimes with the most organized, straightforward and logical approach they’ve shown during Quinn’s tenure.

For that, the Lions earned an overall grade of B-plus from me.

Quinn and Patricia are fighting for their jobs, the Lions are fighting for respectability after a 3-12-1 season and overcoming that challenge won’t get any easier with an uncertain offseason looming.
