The Detroit Lions largely ignored their need at pass rusher in the 2018 NFL draft. Despite it being the biggest hole on the roster last spring, they neglected to address it in the first two days of the draft.
In the fourth round they finally made an addition to their pass rushing arsenal, when they selected Alabama defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand.
Hand was the No. 1 recruit in the nation in 2014 coming out of Woodbridge High School in Northern Virginia. Many expected him to commit to the University of Michigan, but he surprised the college football world by joining the Alabama Crimson Tide.
