196: Nazir Stackhouse, DT, GeorgiaNo. 228: Nick Nash, WR, San Jose StateNo. 244: Rayuan Lane III, S, NavyBrugler wrote this about the Hairston pick: "The Lions have been doing their homework on Hairston, who ran a 4.

28 40-yard dash at the combine and jumped almost 40 inches in the vertical at his pro day. He might not have the tackling consistency that Dan Campbell prefers, but his cover skills would upgrade Detroit’s secondary."Tuimoloau was one of the leaders in the nation in sacks last season, recording 12.

5 sacks for the national champion Buckeyes.Milum would add power to the inside of the Lions' offensive line and would create a three-horse race for the starting spot at right guard. Christian Mahogany and Kayode Awosika.

Bassa started 55 games and totaled 236 tackles in four seasons at Oregon. He brings plenty of speed and range to the table.The Lions could stand to continue adding depth on the interior defensive line and that's where Stackhouse would come into play.

Stackhouse started 59 games in five years at Georgia, including 43 over the last three seasons.Nash led all wide receivers with 1,382 yards and 16 touchdowns. Only tight end Harold Fannin Jr.

(1,555) had more receiving yards.Lane would provide immediate special teams help thanks to his 4.43 speed and be a depth and developmental piece at safety and at nickel.
