Lions grade out poorly in pre-draft offseason moves

Free agency has largely paused while the 32 teams ready themselves for the 2020 NFL Draft. Taking advantage of the relative calm in the free agent waters, the good folks at Bleacher Report took the time to grade how every team has done in personnel moves since the season ended.

For the Detroit Lions, it’s a passing grade of a C-minus. Barely. A C-minus grade keeps you eligible for extracurricular activities but also relegates you to the study tables.

The notes cite “one of the worst contracts in free agency” for right tackle Hal Vaitai and the Darius Slay trade as the big negatives. Signing Jamie Collins, Danny Shelton and Duron Harmon all on smart deals rescue the failures.

What grade do you give the Lions this offseason so far?
