You are Locked-on Lions, your daily Detroit Lions podcast, part of the Locked-on

Podcast Network, your team every day.

Anna Pleasant, good evening, everybody, and welcome to Lockdown Lions special Draft Night edition

on a Thursday night, April 25th, and a Friday, April 26th.

The Detroit Lions have made their selection in round one tonight, and with the eighth overall pick,

in fact, indeed, the Lions go tight end, selecting T.J. Hawkinson, the John Mackie Award winner for best

tight end in the country. The Redshirt sophomore out of Iowa is a selection of the Lions at number

8, 6.5, 230. He is the Lions. First round pick. It's the first time a team has selected a

tight end in the top 10 since. Yes, that's right. Gulp,

2014 when the Lions took Eric Ebron. My reaction coming up, your reaction on Twitter coming

up as well at Dairy Speaks. A lot to discuss with this pick. Who do the Lions pass up?

We'll tell you. We also got to tell you that tonight's Lions, Lockdown Lions broadcast, is brought to you

by our good friends at ZipRecruiter.

But the opening stages of the first round, it looked like it was going to be a party in Allen Park. It looked like it was going to be a party in Detroit. As players were falling,

teams were reaching, it was awesome. Arizona took Kyler Murray. We knew that was coming,

right? They got their quarterback. They got a guy that's going to fit the system and everything

else, and bye-bye, Josh Rosen. Nick Bosa goes number two. Quinn and Williams goes number three.
