Not rounds 4-7, but some may find this SI article on Frank Clark interesting:

Didn't seem to merit a separate post ...
I'm glad to see it's not another article telling the lie that Clark was a 210 lb. safety coming out of high school...

I hate to say it, but I'd like to see them get Michael Bennett.

Not need to move up if that's the cost.
Edit: And then we move up, lol
He seems to have always been a 4th round pick, IMO...not that Kiper is an expert on anything, but he doesn't even have him as the best DT available right now.
I think he's always been a 4th round pick.

I think Jake Butt is probably the most likely early-entry talent.
Graham Glasgow, Desmond Morgan, Joe Bolden, Blake Countess, Wayne Lyons...
I think the streak will continue. I don't see any first rounders, but there are some guys who could be picked in the lower rounds.

I was only listing seniors, but yeah, he could get drafted, too.
Is a RS Junior. The official roster is a bit misleading, you need to click on the player's name to determine his year of eligibilty.
The official site lists all fourth-year guys as seniors, but Henry is a redshirt junior. He has two years of eligibility remaining at this point.
Countess seems like a near-lock to at least get drafted, provided he recovers even a bit from this past year. He has good measurables and its a position that teams are always going to be looking to fill. Also, I could see Pipkins get a chance late in the draft a la Campbell because he has the 5* pedigree and showed flashes between injuries.
I wonder what we gave up...
Edit...formatting looks good when I copy and paste, however, changes when I hit save. Oh well.
Trade: Eagles acquire 3rd round pick in 2016 from Detroit for a 2015 4th round pick (113).
I didn't see if they gave up one of them or not...
This is a pretty uninspiring draft for the Lions. Not one of these guys is a difference maker. Still on track for 7-9 or 8-8.
to be anyhting more than just solid at the NFL level. Kinda reminds me of Sedrick Irvin.
According to the NFL Draft Tracker, Lions still have picks in the 5th, 6th, and 7th round. So thats cool.
They are filling needs. Whether these guys will be standouts is another matter, but as you said they don't necessarily need that.
Yeah, I don't get the hate. Considering Rob Sims is an overpaid putz, moving back in the first round and getting the best OG in the draft is a great move. And Manny Ramirez is a great insurance policy for anywhere on the interior O-line. People demanded a DT but OG was just as big a need.
And anyone who complains wasting a second-round pick on Titus Young and his character issues has no right to bitch about the first two picks here. By all accounts Tomlinson and Abdullah are as high on the character scale as it gets. I don't think RB is a position of much need but it's not like we're stacked, either. This is a solid draft. It's not flashy, but I like it so far.
Jake Ryan getting some love from Kiper. 4th on his best available.
Other than the Gabe Wright pick, I'm not very happy with this draft for the Lions.
The Ramirez trade was still stupid, but Tomlinson is a helluva of a guard and extremely intelligent.(Double degree in evolutionary anthropology and psychology at Duke) Abdullah is a soild RB. Carter is the only one I have not come around on. Seems like an average player to me.
Why on earth was the Ramirez trade stupid? That was a GREAT move. Get an extra fifth rounder, move back just five spots, and get the best OG in the draft as well as a guy who has tons of starting experience and can play anywhere inside the tackles. Why on earth was that a dumb move???
Stefon Diggs to Michigan!!!??????
How funny would that be?
In all honesty, he'd be a GREAT fit as a slot and return man.
...replace AJ Hawk
That was weird.
