Grading the Detroit Lions’ selection of RB D’Andre Swift

The Detroit Lions moved over to the offensive side of the ball for their second-round pick and filled their need at running back.

D’Andre Swift was the second running back off the board in this draft class and a consensus top-three back in the 2020 draft class. He brings some speed and receiving ability to Detroit’s backfield, combining with Bo Scarbrough’s power and Kerryon Johnson’s more well-rounded game.

We all know the Lions are trying to establish the run in Detroit, but was this the right pick for the team this early?
