Analysis of every pick | Updated depth chart
Round 1, No. 12 overall: Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama
My take: Lions general manager Brad Holmes surprised many draft analysts by taking Gibbs at No. 12. After the Detroit defense finished near the bottom of the league for the second straight season, many projected the Lions to use both their first-round picks on defense.
