If there’s one position we all thought the Lions needed going into the draft, it was any position along the defensive line. On Thursday night at the Pride Of Detroit draft event in downtown Detroit, I went around asking Lions fans who they thought the Lions would take in the first round. All the answers were Josh Allen, Brian Burns or Ed Oliver. This is what everyone thought the team would go.
Three rounds came and went and the Lions didn’t pick a defensive lineman in any of them. Finally, in the fourth round the Lions did what we all thought they should do.
