Lions Trade Back To Draft N. Illinois WR Kenny Golladay In 3rd Round.
CBSDetroit

At Northern Illinois, Golladay ?was the quarterback?s pet with his long, available frame. Steps into his routes with push and purpose. Long-strider who, if unaccosted, can eat up cushion and work over top of cornerbacks. Good hand fighter who can create additional vertical separation. Catches it away from his body and with desired extension,?? according to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com.
Golladay started his college career at North Dakota where he grew four to five inches. He spent his final two seasons at Northern Illinois.
The Lions now have six picks in rounds four through seven on Saturday ? two each in the fourth and sixth rounds and one each in fifth and seventh rounds.

96. Detroit Lions: Kenny Golladay, WR ? Northern Illinois
Detroit adds depth to the wide receiver corps that needs it. Golden Tate and Marvin Jones would love some help, as would Matthew Stafford. Golladay is a bit over-drafted here without question, but you can see the upside that the Lions do. Still, the reach makes it average. Grade: C

2017 NFL draft: LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin selected by Detroit Lions in fourth round.

Detroit Lions pick LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin in fourth round of 2017 NFL Draft.
DJC

The Lions took LB Jaylen Reeves-Maybin from Tennessee at No. 124. The 22-year-old has good size at 6-feet, 230 pounds and is another linebacker who can play MIKE or WILL. He's a good run defender and joins Jarrad Davis as a strong hitter drafted by Detroit.
Jalen Reeves-Maybin missed much of 2016 with a shoulder injury, but he racked up 14 tackles for loss and six sacks, along with four passes defended as a junior.

2017 NFL Draft: TE Michael Roberts selected by Lions in fourth round.
Mlive

http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2017/04/29/detroit-lions-nfl-draft-round-four/100810994/
Lions pick Toledo TE Michael Roberts in Round 4 of NFL draft.
Freep

Michael Roberts, the TE from a Toledo, is Detroit's pick at No. 127. He was a popular pick for the Lions late in mock drafts throughout the process. Roberts is a blocking tight end who makes sense as a possible No. 3 tight end immediately. He's a good blocker who can be a red-zone threat. He had 22 touchdowns in his final three seasons.
Don't get too caught up with the 4.86 40 time -- tight end Michael Roberts is a steal for the Lions. Huge, 6-foot-4, 270-pound target with a big catch radius and knack for explosive plays. Strong blocker. Overcome a lot to get where he is today.
Michael Roberts was mostly off the radar through three seasons at Toledo, but he exploded for 45 catches, 533 yards and 16 touchdowns as a senior.
Think about the route tree in Detroit and how TE Michael Roberts can fit in the system. The ball comes out quick. Roberts has the size (6-foot-4, 270 pounds) to create some leverage on stick routes, flat routes and bring some matchup ability to the red zone. Some value here for the Lions in double tight end sets.

124. Detroit Lions: Jalen Reeves-Mabin, LB – Tennessee
Everything about this is I love. The need at linebacker is there, the player and potential are there with Reeves-Maybin, and it all falls into place. Well done. Grade: A
NFLSpinZone

Round 4, pick No. 124 overall: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB, Tennessee.
Jalen Reeves-Maybin is another athletic linebacker for the Lions, but missed much of 2016 due to injury. Despite this, he still made a whopping 107 combined defensive stops between 2014 and 2016. —
PFF

127. Detroit Lions: Michael Roberts, TE – Toledo
Eric Ebron was a premium pick in the first round, but hasn’t lived up to the hype. They need a willing blocker in-line that can also catch the pigskin and Roberts should be that for them. Grade: B+
NFLSpinZone

Round 4, pick No. 127 overall: Michael Roberts, TE, Toledo.
Michael Roberts was a reliable receiving option over the middle for the Rockets last season, as he doubled-up the rest of the country’s tight ends with 16 touchdown receptions and just three dropped passes. He earned the highest PFF overall grade among tight ends in the FBS last season, with an 85.9 mark. —
