What grade would you give the Lions' draft class?

    I think the draft choices were all good & sound, save for both in the 5th round. The RB room already had starting level backs by committee. Scarborough to pound the rock. T.Johnson for unbeatable speed. K. Johnson for all around talent, & depth. I can't fault signing Swift, as he is and will be phenomenal, I believe, IF our OL is 100% better overall!
    That said, there was no reason to double up on RB when we already have others on roster to do exactly what he does INCLUDING return man. Would have taken Bradlee Anae with that pick. As for Cephus, unless u got him 100% ONLY as a run blocking WR, either DPJ or Hightower would have been 500% a better pick there WITHOUT the of field risks...not to mention he was dead last at speed. What WR outside of HIGH SCHOOL runs a 4.7?? I even think selecting Fromm at that spot would have helped far more from a cerebral standpoint! Him or Eno Benjamin if u wanted to take ANOTHER RB?! We needed OL talent injection to make 6/10 RBs look like 8/10, not below their talent level because holes continue to NOT be opened up. Even Swift can look average at best if we don't get maulers up front.
    Same with the D. If we can't get to the QB again, like last year, we could have Stephon Gilmore & Jalen Ramsey both on islands...but they would get burned eventually too. 5 sec is a LIFETIME for QBs to get a pass off. Get down to 1/2 that, & Oruwariye will look like an all pro!
