Remember the days before the draft? Remember when so many wanted Ed Oliver as if they were sure that he was going to be the next Aaron Donald? Well, the Lions took a tight end in front of him and waited till the end of the seventh round to go out and get their defensive tackle when they selected PJ Johnson of Arizona.
Much like the Aaron Donald situation, the Lions didn’t necessarily need a defensive tackle, at least not that high in the draft. They currently have a formidable duo in Damon Harrison Sr.
