Detroit Lions select Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder in Round 4

Day 3 of the NFL Draft kicked off, and the Detroit Lions had fille their two primary needs with Blake Miller and Derrick Moore, but they still had some holes at LB, DT, S, CB and depth positions.

First pick of the day came at #118, and the Lions stuck at the spot and picked up Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder. The Lions are getting a hard-nosed run stuffer, great special teamer who has an opportunity to develop into a starting Middle Backer long term. One key stat that jumped out at me is his missed tackle rate Rolder's 2025 Key Stats

• 73 total tackles (7 for loss)

• 2 sacks

• 93.4 passer rating against

• 13 pressures

• 4.7% Missed Tackle-Rate, t5th Best of 226 FBS linebackers (minimum 500 defensive snaps) per PFF

The Grey Manes thoughts was overlay positive as it fills a big need and frankly, we didn't really know which way Brad was going to go, so he is 3 for 3 on filling big needs with players that fit the Lions prospect profile.

His college Jersey number of 30 is currently worn by Khalil Dorsey, so it's likely Rolder will need to pick a new number.
