Detroit Lions Breakdown Episode #59: 2018 Draft Recap. 53 minutes.

The draft captivated the NFL world over the past weekend, as always. The Lions were, of course, included in that mayhem and added 6 players that they will hope will help shape their franchise over the next decade.
Without further ado, Erik breaks down the 6.

Akeem Spence was traded to the Dolphins for a conditional 7th round draft pick.

Round 1 Pick 20 IOL Frank Ragnow ? Arkansas.

Round 2 Pick 43 RB Kerryon Johnson ? Auburn.

Round 3 Pick 82 DB Tracy Walker ? Louisiana-Lafayette.

Round 4 Pick 114 DL Da?Shawn Hand ? Alabama.

Round 5 Pick 153 OL Tyrell Crosby ? Oregon.

Round 7 Pick 237 FB Nick Bawden ? San Diego St.

Thanks to all of the listeners out there, even the ones where we can?t see their reviews.

Fun extremely random fact I just found:

A kicker once won the @PFWAwriters' Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The year? 1992
The man? Jason freakin' Hanson.
