Lions pick Toledo TE Michael Roberts in Round 4 of NFL draft

The Lions have selected Toledo TE Michael Roberts with the 127th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Roberts, 6-4 and 270 pounds, has huge and reliable hands and used them to catch 16 touchdowns last season with Toledo. He’s considered a good blocking tight end and a red-zone threat, which the Lions desperately need.
