Detroit Lions - Team Notes

The Detroit Lions waived two players on Tuesday, cutting ties with center Braxston Cave and tight end Casey Pierce.

With a reported 12 undrafted free agents set to be signed later this week, the Lions had to release the two players to get to the 90-man roster limit.

Detroit Lions, Grade C.
1 (16) Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State
2 (46) A?Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama
3 (95) Graham Glasgow, C, Michigan
4 (111) Miles Killebrew, S, Southern Utah
5 (151) Joe Dahl, G, Washington State
5 (169) (from Denver) Antwione Williams, ILB, Georgia Southern
6 (191) Jake Rudock, QB, Michigan
6 (202) (from Seattle) Anthony Zettel, DE, Penn State
6 (210) Jimmy Landes, LS, Baylor
7 (236) Dwayne Washington, RB, Washington

Day 1: We had a second-round grade on Decker, so we like him overall as a player, just not this high in the draft. He?s a mauling run-blocker (eighth in the nation in 2014 in run-block grades), but two straight years of average grades in pass protection have us concerned.

Day 2: Robinson was getting first-round hype that we weren?t sure was warranted due to his limited pass-rush production at Alabama, but this was a perfect spot for him and a good value for the No. 13 run-stopper in the nation each of the last two years. He hasn?t shown that he can get after the quarterback effectively, but he?s a classic 3-4 defensive end for early downs. Glasgow had a better year as a guard in 2014 than he did at center in 2015. He?ll make some impressive blocks and some ugly ones, evening off to his +0.8 overall grade that ranked 28th in the class last year.

Day 3: Killebrew brings great range as an underneath zone defender, but he has to tie up some tackling issues. Dahl posted strong grades in pass protection and he should get a chance to stick as offensive tackle to see if he can learn to handle his kryptonite ? the bull rush. Rudock had a fantastic second half and he?s worth a look to see if it?s sustainable after a terrible first half of the season. Zettel is an interior pass rusher (+17.7, 16th in class) who has to improve his strength at the point of attack.
