Lions select LB Jimmy Rolder at #118

If nothing else we get cheap depth and ST play from Rolder. In a weak draft, I’ll take that. Rodrigo is on a 1 year deal and if Barnes doesn’t play better this season he could become a cap casualty.

Rolder seems like a dude. I bet he’s starting LB in the next 2-3 years max

Moves like a dude, plays like a dude. Was underrecruited coming out of HS, underdrafted coming out of College. Pretty good chance the Lions look back and got a steal 2-3 years from now

I still have Golday rated higher, but Rolder 2 rounds later that ■■■■■■■ works for me

The Lions clearly wanted a LBer with height and they got one. In rd. 4. 6’2 something. Feels like a scheme fit and great rd. 4 value.

We like guys who have a chip on their shoulder. Regardless of Rolder’s role on the team he’ll give the Lions everything he has.

Same collegiate path as Schwesinger. Benchwarmer the whole time before exploding his final year.

He’s an instinctive, assignment sound LB. That’s what I like about him.
