The Detroit Lions have been in need of a D-Line overhaul throughout the Dan Campbell era, and the issue became acute last year amid a rash of injuries to the defensive front. While most of the wounded warriors, most notably Edge Aiden Hutchinson, are on track to return next year, the unit remains a rare weak spot on a sterling roster. With the team's Super Bowl window wide open and a new defensivecoordinator in place, creating a rush-four level defense would seem to be imperative. South Carolina's Kyle Kennard is a polished pass rusher who has the durability and high motor the Lions require, and length and quickness that creates a high ceiling for his future. On the down side, he's already 24 years old, his pass rush moves need development, and his slight frame will require some time to get him to the complementary edge-holding Dan Campbell raves about.

LIONS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
