The Lions are moving up 10 spots in the third round. They will jump from No. 85 to 75, with the Colts facilitating the move.
In exchange for moving down 10 positions, the Colts will receive fifth- and sixth-round picks (Nos. 148 and 182). This will give the Colts five combined picks in Rounds 5 and 6. The Lions will also pick up a sixth-rounder (No. 197) in the deal.
With the pick, the Lions took Ohio State guard Jonah Jackson. A one-time Rutgers recruit, Jackson helped on an offense that featured prolific numbers from Justin Fields and J.K. Dobbins. A 2019 graduate transfer, Jackson received first-team All-Big Ten acclaim in his lone season with the Buckeyes.
Detroit lost longtime guard/center starter Graham Glasgow this offseason. With the team having not addressed its O-line in the draft, Jackson will be a prime candidate to challenge for the guard spot Glasgow vacated.
Worth it.
Next offseason Lions bring in new GM & coaching staff, trade Stafford, draft Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence w/no. 1 overall pick, and sign & draft a new offensive line. I do like our picks through round 3.
Sam can you update the draft by round and team to show pick 85 going to the colts
